Hi Paul,

Thanks for the most ineresting experiments, even if the result is negative sometimes. Well it's not as easy as expected it seems. I did expect that the decode will be no problem with the added signals. Local experiments are not useful since my distance to the tree grabber is just 3.5 km. Anyway it is a real experiment with some path, so maybe i will do some QRP tests anyway. Today the WX wasn't really good here and i've been motivated to continue to work on the large ULF coil. A very big step was done today, variometer is completed and i calculated that i need a 6th stack which must have 8 layers. Now 7 of them are completed! I will finish the winding today! That work took several month, 6 kg of cu wire is used, about 150€ just for the wire.
More later...

73, Stefan

No decode of either message.

I added the two days coherently and that also failed to
decode.  I tested the processing with simulated signals
and that gave the expected 3dB gain.

Looked at the cross correlation of the two days but can
see nothing.  The simulated signals at about Eb/N0 0.0dB
are visible on a cross correlation.

This will only work if the received phase doesn't change
much from one day to another.  We may need some luck, some
stable weather and ionosphere.

To keep the office warm, the computer is trying some
range of phase shifts between the two days.
