Re: LF: Coherent BPSK on LF using EbNaut

Domenico,

 

nil from the 10 Watt transmission at 21:00 UT, only noise.

 

Could you perhaps leave the carrier on during the pause, to let me check signal level and frequency?

73, Markus

Hi all,

Markus, thank you for the report.
The small difference in QRG is due probably to the fact that i'm not using resample now.
Transmission of 6 char./3s with 10 W will start in few seconds.

Hi Domenico, Paul,

 

good decode again from the first transmission which started accurately at 20:00 UT. I only noticed that I had to reduce the frequency offset by half a milliHz compared to earlier tests.

 

Best 73,

Markus (DF6NM)

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.
