Hi VLF,
The recent 1 character message on 6470 Hz was received at RN3AUS in
nearly 2000 km distance, a land path, with very good Eb/N0. 4
characters would have been possible. That was a night time transmission.
Now since a few days there is a SpecLab instance 'listening' on 6470.1
Hz at RC4HAA in 2877 km distance (LO53CF) from here, configured for
EbNaut reception.
The daily 16 character night time transmission is still going on, now 6
days are completed. After 4 days, there was no result at RN3AUS and
obviously not at SQ5BPF.
So there is some free time for a next experiment during daytime.
Stacking EbNaut messages works very well with the tool by DF6NM. So one
could try to get a result over many daytime transmissions.
I have the idea to run a few more single-character transmissions. This
is also a good chance for newcomers to get a first decode in EbNaut on
VLF.
With some luck, RN3AUS may decode them over the day time path, as well
as SQ5BPF. And with even more luck, a decode at RC4HAA?
Trying the impossible:
f = 6470.100000 Hz
Start time: 12.October.2017 06:00:00 UTC
