Thank you Markus for the explanation of WOLF modulation. I never stop learning.... a good thing....
Now looking for you as of 01:45 UTC

Hi Andy, LF,
 
actually there is no carrier line in the WOLF spectrum, it's BPSK with a pseudorandom spreading code. In a spectrogram it resembles a 10 Hz wide noise band, which will be pretty much undetectable at any DX range. Actually a kind of spread spectrum mode, not unlike the GPS modulation (pssst ;-).
 
I think I have proven (and resolved) my soundcard phase-glitch problem. The attached trace shows a local audio test, with a WOLF signal generated on 1475 Hz. It is doubled in SpecLab's AM demodulator to regenereate a carrier at twice the frequency, which is phase compared to an hardware generated Rb-derived reference carrier. I have employed SpecLab's RDF mode to display phase as colour (retarding R-G-B-R). The first half shows the result from WOLF-Gui running on my "Grabber Notebook", which has a number of programs running. Besides the gradual phase roll due too a very minor frequency offset, there are jumps every few minutes. This is a bit nasty, as Wolf will still decode such a signal when it is strong, but not be able to go to its full sensitivity by using long coherent integration. The right half after 21:40 shows the practically perfect output from the Atom Netbook, the one which I have also used during several VLF transmissions. 
So, maybe it's worth another try. Will put the "good" WOLF signal on air a few minutes after 23 UT, QRG 135975 Hz, 10 b/s.
 
Best 73,
Markus (DF6NM)
