Re: VLF: Three dots

[DK7FC <selberdenken@posteo.de>]

Hi Markus,

I see the dots and probably you are right, it should be your signal. On the other side we see how strong the QRN has been just during that weekend :-/
My postprocessing should be completed in the evening. 3 SL instances are running on that recording, 11 instances are running on that PC, which is close to its limit. Thus i didn't yet start to analyse your signal from the recording but i will start with that in the evening and i'm very optimistic. It is interesting to see how low the background noise can be between the sferics :-)

left three dots on Stefan's 47 uHz spectrogram http://www.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/schaefer_vlf/DK7FC_VLF_Grabber2.html .

This is astonishing because the tree-receiver is currently connected to a north-south oriented loop, whereas I am due east in a null. So I was wondering whether reception was made possible by skywave with rotated polarisation? Perhaps reminiscent of the playful colour changes on Stefan's MF colour-DF grabber.

Despite much lower noise background, the (shorter) daytime carrier

left no trace at all.
