Re: LF: EbNaut tests 137.490 kHz

[Markus Vester <markusvester@aol.com>]

Thanks again Domenico, your receiver is doing an excellent job! Of course the SNR per bit is not really 71.6 dB, it's just an arbitrary number assigned to zero bit errors. But the carrier based SNR ~ 30 dB is probably realistic and proves the quality of your reception. 

Alex RN3AUS sent some opds data files from his Datcha, which produced good decodes as well. I'm working with Joe and believe that he will also be ready to receive EbNaut soon.

Unfortunately it started to rain this morning so I skipped the last transmission (7 UT) and pulled in the antenna. According to the weather forecast it will be a few days
before I can get on air again.

Thanks to all participants!

73, Markus (DF6NM)

More EbNaut tonight:  Same 2 s/symbol format with hourly repeats starting 18 UT, but carrying a new 8-char message.

To obtain some extra sensitivity, I have now slowed down to 2 seconds per symbol, with transmissions starting 0.3 s after each full hour.

Frequency 137490 Hz,
8 characters, 8K19A,
2 second symbols (duration 21m52s)
Start times: 22:00, 23:00, etc. until 7:00 UT, plus 0.3 s transmit delay.

73, Markus
