Hello Stefan,
ok, it should be 8270Hz.
I assume you mean 8270 Hz.
I have now decreased the turns
on
the primary winding.
As long as the transformer stays cool, you can do this. But for
higher
power levels it may be better to add more turns on the secondary
winding. You need to watch it.
My transformer should be good for 500W with
the chosen secondary windings.
The antenna current is now
350mA,
input power to the PA is 150W.
Cooler temperature remains still 37°C.
The transmission is finished since 15:00 UTC. I hope you can
give me
some report.
Are you using a Mini Whip for receiving? I will try to
receive you on
you next transmissions.
As i wrote, i am using a loop into E-W direction.
I can try the 20m Loop of my 2 element Delta
Loop.
Oh, i just wanted to ask if you know you signal accuracy but now i
saw
your signal on the DF6NM VLF grabber. It has been on the air for
about
one day and it looks absolutely stable. I also see a dash on the
right
frequency in my 47 uHz window but it disappeared during the time
of low
QRN. I can even see a faint trace in the 424 uHz window. I guess
Paul
will have even better traces.
Now what are your plans, what would you like to do there?
Carriers,
DFCW, EbNaut?
EbNaut. For receiving I'm not sure if my Mini
Whip is good enough. Have no experience.
Ah and BTW, now your antenna C has rised since you improved the
antenna. So you must have reduced the L. Do you have enough L
available
to go to 6470 Hz? It would be interesting to see if the daytime
propagation on our short path is better there.
I will soon move to 5170 Hz, so the frequency would be clean for
you :-)
I can try 6470 Hz, but I would need a lot of
ferrite. The next is I have no idea how to get the output of
ebnaut-tx.exe into Speclab.
73, Stefan
PS: My peak hold graph was set wrong in the 47 uHz window. It is
now
updated and shows the highest peak of the last 3 days.
73,
Roland

Hello Roland,
8170kHz?
I have the EW loop connected on the tree. Don't hesitate to
run a
carrier during the morning hours, 4...10 UTC is a good time as
you can
see. With some luck i will see you in the 424 uHz window. That
would be
remarkable.

Hello Markus, Stefan, Paul,
I'm back at 8170kHz and using now a class D Amplifier. You
can see me
at Markus Grabber.
Amplifier :
max. power on 2 Ohm: 500W
mac. power on 4 Ohm: 250W
Power supply range. 20..48V
Switching frequency: 400kHz
IC: Texas DTA8950
IC is fan cooled
Price, mono mode: Ebay, 50 €
My actual values:
Power supply: 30V, 3A = 90W
PA output about 80W
Antenna current: 250mA
Temperature of cooler: 37°C
Fan mostly switched off
For more power I have to increase the voltage of power
supply or to
lower the primary turns of the transformer.
300Ws should be not a problem.
For receiving I wont to use a min whip. I hope that the
noise is not to
high.
