Hi VLF,

I know now that there seem to be a number of newcomers trying to get a first detection in EbNaut on VLF, as well as carrier detection. So on one side, it makes sense to come back to shorter messages, they have a better chance to decode for RX systems that are not optimised yet. On the other side there are now a few OMs who already know that the system is running, they want to try longer messages.
I will run two EbNaut transmissions this weekend, one starts in this evening and is for advanced newcomers (of course also for all other stations). The other one is shorter and is directed to Italy, where at least 2 newcomers are now trying to get a first decode. Its the time now to make them! :-)
