Good nighttime results at DL0AO on this frequency, using only 8.9 hours of data from the 31.4 uHz western cardioid instance. Decoder output was equal from the two available nights, so surely correct. Summing both with equal weights produced slightly less than the expected 3 dB gain.

Carrier-based Eb/N0:
================
20/21 (no data recorded)
22/23  5.5 dB
23/24  5.8 dB
sum    8.3 dB

Best 73,

...the message was running on the 20th, 22th and 23th.

Today i made a mistake in the SpecLab settings which unfortunetely affectet the transmission.
I watched the alternating colours (due to the PSK) and saw that it doesn't switch the phase as expected. Then i quickly restartet SpecLab, it was bit chaotic but now it should work again. Since the symbol length is 3 minutes it was easy to delete the first 11 symbols and start this special file at 16:33:00 UTC. All in all just the first 8 symbols are affected. 2 of them were transmitted correctly (productive), 2 of them have opposite phase (destructive) and 4 were not transmitted (not really neutral but not so dramatic).
Fortunately the transmission takes 12 hours, so 24 minutes is just 3.3 % or -0.15 dB.
The transmimission should now continue as expected.
Just a note for those who follow it...

73, Stefan
