Bob and Markus,

 

Thanks, this seems consistent with the shape of the late-night/early-morning amplitude characteristic in the LWPC simulation (for 43N, 75W to Todmorden) that Paul sent to the group on March 1, 2014: a smooth, fast transition (and particularly with minimal multimode peak/null effects).

 

It’s interesting to note this characteristic (for this month, frequency and path), but more interesting to note consistency of Paul’s LWPC result with last-night’s data.

 

I don’t think that the difference in paths from Bob’s location to Todmorden and to Markus’ location should make much difference in the shape of the late-night/early-morning amplitude characteristic, but I could be wrong.

 

In another example of rough agreement between VLF models and test results in this group’s efforts (for roughly similar paths and times of year): the shape and magnitude of the phase characteristic measured by Paul (for 43N, 75W to Todmorden) overnight March 1st/2nd was consistent with a published model (Chilton 1964, based on empirical data) for a path of roughly similar land distance and water distance. The diurnal phase characteristic for paths of this length and orientation (43N, 75W to Todmorden) varies considerably month by month, so it was most interesting to see the close correspondence  between Paul’s March 1st/2nd measurements and Chilton’s 1964 results for a different but analogous transatlantic path in early March.

Markus;
I closed at 0820 as I saw the signal went away at about 0700 on the Markus grabber.  Had to be up early so couldn't stay on longer.  Will stay on longer tonite-Bob

Jim,

 

I dont really know when Bob switched off... On my grabber, the signal dropped sharply around 6 UT, thus the correlation peak was probably based on the first half of the sequence which ended 6:52. But on Paul's spectrogram http://abelian.org/vlf/sg29499.shtml the carrier stayed visible until after 8 UT.

Markus,

 

This is a welcome sight. Thanks to you and Bob. Was this detection made approximately ten minutes before Bob switched off?

Just one detection here, but that makes it worth the effort:

 

2014-03-07 06:52:02 WH1XBA  6448km  29499.000Hz   1mHz -52.9dBOp 100% 15.3dB

 

Out of the last four nights, this was the one with the highest noise. The carrier was visible since about 0:30, but the detection occured only in the morning when the noise went down before the signal did. Unlike Paul in Todmorden, I don't have a steerable pair of loops, so only the blanker to combat the statics.

 

Bob, thanks for this signal!

 

Best 73,

Markus (DF6NM)
