Subject: Re: VLF: New EbNaut announcement...
GM Eddie, Jacek,
Thanks for the decode, i confirm the message is correct ;-) With such
long messages, a false decode
that makes some sense becomes most unlikely. I would never send
messages like 'h;?T 7!F' :-)
Jacek, the QRN looked quite low here last night. Anyway i would say
there is a clear SNR improvement
on your side. We could certainly manage longer messages but then we
may exclude some newcomers.
Actually i am now in the situation to run daily VLF transmissions,
even during rain. The antenna
current was almost stable at 700 mA during the whole transmission time.
I'm now waiting for a feedback from Alex/RN3AUS, and i am optimistic.
You already see, the messages
become longer and longer. The next attempt would be 10 characters
which still seems to be realistic
for a radius of 2000 km.
BTW EA5DOM is also within this radius! :-)
