Hello Roger!
I will send an information about my next transmission before I will start TX.  I hope, you will have time to catch my weak signal.

73!

Lubos, OK2BVG

Hi Lubos

Until Saturday evening I am not at home (I am with our grandson) so I cannot look for your signal. If you are transmitting on VLF on Sunday I shall try to see you. If G3ZJO is able to copy there is a good chance I will copy you too. 

Congratulations on being copied by Paul Nicholson - that is very good DX for 25W.

Hello Stefan!
Yes it is true. My PWR is 25W, antenna current is 300mA. But I use fixed antenna, as you know, so the ERP is cca 30uW only (I can expect this value thanks to Gerhard´s calculation).
Today´s test was very interesting.

Hello Lubos,

Sorry, i haven't seen anything it seems. But 600 km by using 25 W at 8970 Hz would almost be a wonder :-)

Go on and good luck

73, Stefan

Hello Eddie!
Thanks, for your receiving! My TX was on from 08:00 to 12:30UT. Did you detect my signal?

Lubos, OK2BVG

Hi Lubos

RX is on this morning awaiting your test.

Good Luck

Hello Stefan, Markus, Gerhard and all VLF enthusiasts!
I was quite busy during last days, so I am writing just now.
Well... I tested my new VLF TX set of the day  5th March. It was the first test only and I am very pleased, you saw my signal. I expected, it would be poorly visible  on the Gerhard´s grabber only! In fact, it was visible with S/N 10dB.
Some information:
The antenna is my MW Marconi L (24m up), but I increased top load on the value 220m.
Generator is Wandel/Goltermann PS30, the finest tuning step 1Hz (OCXO).
PA is Seba Dynatronic 25W out.
My loading coil is made from 60l barrel, it contains two fixed coils  500 + 500 turns of wire 0,4CuL + rotary coil made from 5litre bucket.

I am going to take some photos and give them on my websides at the weekend. I will let you know, they are there.

My next VLF test will be tomorrow (2011-03-11):    
I will start transmission on 8970 tomorrow morning at 08:00UT. 
Than I won´t be at home, so TX will transmit to approximately 12:00UT. It is the best time for VLF TX test, becouse the noise would be the lowest.

Thanks for your encouraging words and help! 

73!

Lubos

Wow, the next one!
Lubos, can you tell us about your station? All parameters and data please :-)
How strong have you been visible at OE3GHB?

Welcome in the VLF TX group ;-)

Dear Lubos, LF,
 
beneath is a posting from Paul Nicholson in the Yahoo VLF groop. His spectrum from last Saturday morning shows three amateur signals, including yours.
 
Very good!
 
73, Markus

Thanks for the info Markus.

Yes, that long dash was Lubos.
OK2BVG was active that morning for a couple of hours.

I get this spectrum, (08:00-09:00, 278uHz bins)

http://abelian.org/vlf/tmp/110308b.gif

which has a small peak at 8970Hz - 3.0mHz, bearing east.

To bring this out I found the best S/N at bearing 110 and
I synthesised a unidirectional cardioid by combining H and E fields.

Only 3.6 sigma unfortunately.

Hopefully Lubos will do further tests. He should be visible
here with 30uW at 1423km if the tx frequency is stable enough.
