Best decode with reference phase pattern: 30 30 0 0

Eb/N0 = +3.6 dB,   BER 35.0%, list rank 0.

S/N 20.24 dB in 11.8 uHz,  -63.0dB in 2.5kHz

The phase pattern is appropriate for an advance of the
signal phase during day relative to night.

Symbol error map (with 30 30 0 0 pattern):

and with constant reference (0 0 0 0 pattern)

Not much difference, 500/1408 symbol errors with constant
reference.  Down to 493/1408 with 30 30 0 0 pattern.

I haven't mentioned the message text because it's possible someone
else may be trying a decode.

Indeed, 5170Hz seems to be quite a cooperative band to use.
