Getting about +10 dB Eb/N0 on new E-field and about +6 dB Eb/N0
on H-field.
Excellent. So E+H could be 12 dB.
Based on the S/N reports from your last email we could manage to pass
the 100 character message on 5170 Hz in 4...5 days, e.g.
http://abelian.org/ebnaut/calc.php?sndb=16&snbws=&snmps=12600&code=8K21&sp=7&crc=8&nc=100&submit=Calculate
which is still quite comfortable :-)
An unusual message, though. Thought it might be a false
decode, but it's equally false on both nights?
There are not many useful 1 character messages, so my creativity comes
to an end quickly :-)
Equal messages are a good sign though :-)

If it degrades over time to produce noise, I would not be
able to tell! Perhaps the next new rx will be a differential
probe...
There are a lot of people here who have experience with ground rod
materials on low frequencies. The question is if they are reading this
and want to comment...
DF3LP is running a differential probe and has problised a design some
years ago.
