Good evening Paul, Markus and all, 

  

 

thank you for your updates. 

I will start some EbNaut transmission at 22.00 each hour and hope that  

 Paul can make some measurement on my signal . Qrg is 137502.24 Hz 

Initial trasmission at 22.00 will contains 22 characters at 1 s/symbol  

 and will be sent with 100 W power output. 

Following transmissions will contains 6 characters at 3 s/symbol and  

 should be sent with 10 W. 

 Coding scheme: 8K19A. 

 

 

 GL.
