Hello Stefan, VLF
I have a decode. I hope it is not false ;)
The best result is achieved with the small frequency offset, however decode is possible also without it.
Some phase variations are noticeable. Perhaps night is too short now and we need to use day time for transmission?
As usualy files for reprocessing are here: http://rn3aus.narod.ru/ebnaut-vlf-29mar2017.zip 

My grabber is running, next visit on Monday...

Hi Domenico, VLF,

OK, then i will try a new attempt for a first EbNaut message to south Italy. There will be improvements at RC4HAA this weekend, so more carriers will be required then. You can use the chance to receive them as well, in a few days.
But for tonite:

f = 8270.100000 Hz
Start time: Wednesday 029.Mar.2017   18:00:00
Symbol period: 30 s
Characters: 2
CRC bits: 21
Coding 16K21A
Duration: 7h, 4m
Antenna current: 700 mA
