Paul Markus and Group,
Thanks Paul for the reports. The radiation gives more gratification than the
efforts to get a stable carrier.

Great result!
Truly astounding that Paul can receive 10 uW at 3600km with 10+ dB S/N.
Hmm I thought that VO1NA had been on 477 kHz during those nights. Joe are you
transmitting MF and VLF simultaneously, on two antennas?
Yes, the high wire for 630m (~5 W EIRP) and the low for 36000m.
Do you already have GPS lock available on 8.27 kHz?
Yes, pps and NMEA to SpecLab but evidently no discipline yet. The pps pulse looks strange on the SL scope and there are 'PPS zero-crossing too
flat' debug errors on SL SR correction. This is all the NEO7M seems willing to provide at the moment; connecting the raspi3 to the tiny USB
pins on the NEO7M was fun, but otherwise unproductive. I'm hoping it's possible to send commands directly to the neo7m via usb without a special chip.
RSNTP is running on the SL pc.

Betreff: LF: VO1NA in Todmorden on 8270 Hz
VO1NA on 8270.00709 is a good nighttime signal at Todmorden
recently. Here are the last three night's spectra in 34.72 uHz
(8 hours 23:00 to 07:00 UT) using combined E-field and H-field.
http://abelian.org/vlf/tmp/171007b.gif S/N 12.6 dB
http://abelian.org/vlf/tmp/171007c.gif S/N 14.5 dB
http://abelian.org/vlf/tmp/171007d.gif S/N 11.4 dB
Not bad for 8uW ERP at range 3575 km and an undisciplined
OCXO.
