Andy,

I recall doing a series of 137 kHz experiments with Peter Martinez using PSK, with the sending end being triggered by 1PPS interrupts from my HP GPS receiver. Somewhere here I have the 8051 code I kept modifying. We were using bit timings of 30 seconds or so. If memory serves, there were no wildly successful results, but he certainly copied my signal on some nights that would have been rough for QRSS30.

Its a pity we no longer have 73kHz
Back in the early 1990's when that band was being proposed, one of the
ideas put forward as an argument for getting it  was a link budget
worked out showing how TA might be just about possible using coherent
PSK with low symbol rates - something that would have been very
difficult for amateurs in those early days of DSP.

The TA path was managed eventually once, or perhaps twice AFAIR,  by
very slow QRSS at high power and, I think, a period of enhanced
propagation.   Suspect it would be easy enough on EbNaut now.

The PIC 1kHz bandpass digitiser is a very neat way of doing the back end
of an LF narrowband SDR, allowing embedded GSP timestamp and completely
independent of all the nasties associated with soundcards

    And what are the limits at LF?   How far do amateur signals go?

    For that matter, how far does this mailing list reach?
    How to interest more experimenters... away from Europe and
    North America.

    Was reading about lowFER, severe limits on antennas and input
    power.  Now that could be interesting.   Do lowFER signals
    reach Europe?

    Lacking DX stations, the only option is some serious QRP.

    Can we think of something interesting enough to drag Andy
    away from his GUI?
