Hello Stefan!
The computer of the grabber has only one sound card on which the signal from the LF receiver is given. Therefore in the nearest future I won't manage to adjust also VLF reception on the grabber. However, I have one more reception position where there is a VLF receiver (but no internet :( ). I could try to accept your VLF carrier if I will know the moment of the beginning of transfer in one-two days that to adjust everything.

Hi Alex,

Do you also run a VLF grabber there? Or would it be possible?
One day i would like to try a test on VLF using a carrier and/or EbNaut. And i think you are the man to ask about that. Is there any interest?

73, Stefan

Hello LF, Mike.
On the website of my grabber http://rn3aus.136.su/grabber.html  it is possible to see screenshots of the signals decoded at the moment also. The archive of decodes (Op32Rx software) and opds is also available. Perhaps, it will be interesting that the grabber is completely automatic. Computer, receiver, power supply system and recharge of the accumulator, heating system and control system - all this is established in an uninhabited lodge (shower cabin) on my seasonal dacha. In the winter nobody lives in radius of several kilometers, only the grabber "listens" to air and upload spots and decodes by the 3G-modem. I can also operate the grabber remotely. So when you receive decodes from my grabber, imagine the snowy forest and a small dark and cold lodge where day and night the grabber automatic machine works... :)

The good condtions to Russia were confirmed by Op32 results on
137kHz. I received R7NT at 1818, 2218 and 0322UTC. My transmissions
were reported by RA3TGZ (2859km) at 1921UTC and RN3AUS (2420km) at
2106UTC. 2E0ILY made it to RN3AUS (2523km) at 2149 and UA4WPF
(3503km) at 2153.
