Re: VLF: Back on 5.17 kHz / 58 km...

Hi Stefan, Paul,

so that  makes a fine record of 5.17 kHz successes between the two of you! Wonder what will be possible when Stefan goes to max voltage on 2.97 kHz?

I'm trying to keep track of the 60 s PSK traces on the tree grabber. There was a 12.5 h transmission on Jan 4th, and a similar one lasting 23.5 h on 5th/6th. As the duration of 8 characters 16k25 should be 23h 28min, the latter was probably the right one.

I'd still like to look for a daytime carrier here, 1.25 mHz below or above 5170 Hz.

All the best,
Markus (DF6NM)

Easy decode, +3.3dB with constant reference phase.

Decoder continues to run, I expect a better decode with
some phase pattern that compensates for the day/night
shift.
