Dear Jim,

Thanks again for your efforts and for the most interesting screen shot.
Yes,  my frequency was drifting HF despite using a crystal oven.

Pete M0FMT also received me for the first time today.

I had the devil's own job getting the balloons aloft as the wind was strongish at times
and kept changing direction.
I eventually snagged my main aerial's guy rope and had to QRT.

Dear Chris, LF Group,

I'm getting a steady trace on the spectrogram screen since about 1330utc, almost on your stated frequency. It is steadily drifting HF, from about 8972.27Hz to 8972.29Hz so far. The  the noise level is some dB higher than in the previous test, apparently due to increased QRN.

Cheers, Jim Moritz

LF,

I shall be back to work on Tuesday so tomorrow is my last chance for VLF
transmissions for a while.

I have added a crystal oven to stabilize the frequency which is at present
8.972 220 kHz

I shall try transmitting tomorrow from 09.00Z - weather and balloons permitting.
