Hi Joe, we made it! But only with a lot of luck. Using default frequency and samplerate parameters, I first looked for the DDS pilot in your nine files and noted the frequency offsets: file pilot hhmm Hz 2208 .1157 (pilot turned on half-way) 2308 .1148 0008 .1147 0108 .1149 0208 .1156 0308 .1160 0408 .1162 0508 .1161 0608 .1161 Thus I concluded that your rx might have small enough drift over 22 minutes. Then I took the file for my last transmission (12110608.txt) and calculated nominal frequency and start time offsets: freq: +0.1161 - 10.000 = -9.9839 Hz, time: 6:00:00.3 - 5:50:40.92 = 559.38 s. You said that your clock was about 5 seconds slow, so I started searching around 554.4 s offset. The signal is too weak to be seen directly, and I hadn't sent any plain carriers before or after which would have helped finding at least the right frequency. After some playing around I focused on one of the nearby small blue peaks, and tweaked both offsets to center and maximize it more, but no decode happened. Then I tried shifting the timing in 2 second whole-symbol steps. Each time I waited for the decoder to work it's way through all the phase combinations, loosing more and hope with only gibberish decodes. Finally near the end of the third long run, suddenly my message "HELLO LF" stared back at me: Oh my god, we've really made it! Congratulations, Joe! Let's call it a day now, 73, Markus (DF6NM) Re: LF: EbNaut tests 137.490 kHz/OFFLINE Von: Markus Vester <[email protected]> An: jcraig <[email protected]> Datum: So, 11 Dez 2016 8:53 pm Hi Joe, thanks for the files! I have successfully downloaded them from your site, and will now start looking for possible signals. Best 73, Markus (DF6NM) -----Ursprüngliche Mitteilung----- Von: jcraig <[email protected]> An: Markus Vester <[email protected]> Verschickt: So, 11 Dez 2016 6:50 pm Betreff: Re: LF: EbNaut tests 137.490 kHz/OFFLINE The files are uploaded to http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~jcraig/ebnaut/ Lets hope my inexperience hasn't messed up this experiment completely! The screen dump appears to have been made 1317 utc this morning and the computer is set to utc but is slow by ~5s. These brief carriers are eigmatic -- I don't know what causes them. The pilot was generated using an ad9851 without the x6 multiplier and a 10 MHz clock. It seems the raspi python maths retains the full 32 bit precision for the frequency word. A 0.5 was added before the ratio was written to an integer from a float to minimise the rounding error. Please let me know if you need anything else. I'll review the hints you sent. Thank-you! 73 & Good Luck! Joe ...
