I am now TX my sunset at 1840 utc and will be on for a while then
especially at VK sunrise. qrs 60
Thank
you Alan, Markus, Henny, Jean-Pierre, Jay,
It took a while until i
belived that this is/was possible. Thank you for the confirmations. I was
sceptic if the LF world would call this a valid detection. Now i hope to get
better results and a even better proof today.
David/VK2DDI who runs the
well known Berry Mountain Grabber will watch out too,
http://www.users.on.net/~davroz/vk6di/argocaptures/argocaptures.html.
He receives in a low noise location...
Not sure who of them is (still) member
of this reflector so i put them in CC.
Due to Markus' work i see now that
it actually may be possible to receive a full call, if the path is open and QSB
is low. In Dimitris' DCF plot there is a peak of DCF to the time of my sunset
and a stronger one to the time of his sunrise. Inbetween this is the time when i
will be QRV. So i will start arround 17:30 UTC up to 20:30 UTC.
Exciting
times again on LF :-)
73, Stefan/DK7FC
PS: I want to note that
this 16464 km distant signal was received in an urban location with a "micro
probe" active E field antenna designed by PA0RDT, not a large inv-L!

Attached is another grabber screenshot comparison. The width from DK7FC
was halved, and the timescale of VK1SV shifted by 28 minutes. In addition to
the perfect "7", we also find earlier weak dashes on the low DFCW frequency,
between 18:05 and 18:20. This matches what seems to be have been a transmit
keying error, with the callsign ending early in an "F" rather than a
"C".
Congratulations to both Stefan and Dimitris on this fantastic
result!
Best 73,
Markus (DF6NM)
