Hi Paul,
That's very helpful. The oscillator needs some work to improve
our chances.
In the mean time, how about a longer message, more power and shorter
symbols. 9K19A 1 Second symbols 25 characters 500 watts. 2100 UTC.

Given a 3 hour VO/VK window,

shows you need to reach 15dB S/N in 92uHz to get a 5 char message
across, and

12.5dB for a 3 char message.
This assumes the path remains stable for 3 hours which is probably
optimistic.
A 2 char message with 14 second symbols needs S/N 11dB in 92uHz.
Everything hinges on that carrier measurement.
