Stefan,

Unfortunately nothing received here.

Looking forward to your next kite transmissions though, especially 6.4 KHz

Dear VLF,

It seems these batteries are not in best condition. The carrier got weaker and weaker in the morning and disappeared arround 5 UTC.

The SMPS that drives the PA is designed to generate its own 15 V supply once it started to run. But if the input voltage falls below 10V (or 9) it shuts down. Seems that this has happend... The batteries have > 300 Ah in sum so it should have been no problem, actually...

I assume no one except me has detected anything?

BTW: The starting time was 15:30 UTC so the DFCW shift appeared at 23:30 UTC
