Hello Paul,
Excellent! I'm happy :-)
The error map correlates with the QRN strength, see

It's almost June and it works anyway...
The antenna current was quite stable at 220 mA. I'm planning to rise it
up to 240 mA and will run the very long message (19 chars) again.
For 240 mA i need to be quite close to the resonance, so i need the
transductor circuit to hold the resonance automatically. If some rain
starts to fall, the total C will rise a bit, then the DC current in the
transductor coil will rise, the transductor L will fall and the
resonance will be hold on the spot!
So far we got 3 chars, 5 chars and now 6 chars on 6470 Hz, each one at
100s symbols.
73, Stefan

An easy decode of 'JN49IK' with Eb/N0 = +3.8 dB.
Phase pattern: 30 30 0 0
Carrier S/N: 16.96 dB in 17.9 uHz

Now I know the message I can reverse the modulation of
the previous attempt to see why it didn't decode.
