Hi Paul, VLF,

Great! I think this is the longest EbNaut message ever, so far ;-) Thanks for the decode. We needed 3 days but the right 2 days would have been fine as well. Did you try to decode the 3rd on its own? With just a few 1/10 dB less noise we could manage a decode in one night, that's impressive. I could now try to pass you a 1000 character message using ebkey and a relay steered by the Raspi. But i would tend to focus on other goals in the next days, i.e. further attempts with RC4HAA.

Markus, the message is in attachment.

73, Stefan

using combined 12th/13th and 13th/14th.

Constant reference phase, Eb/N0 = +1.7 dB, BER 21.4%, list rank 0
S/N -12.40 dB in 1Hz, -46.38 dB in 2.5kHz.

Each night:

 11th/12th  Eb/N0 = -4.4 dB, phase 101.5 deg, -18.50 dB in 1Hz;
 12th/13th  Eb/N0 = -2.0 dB, phase  92.5 deg, -16.07 dB in 1Hz;
 13th/14th  Eb/N0 = -0.6 dB, phase 100.6 deg, -14.73 dB in 1Hz;

Combinations
 11/12 + 12/13: -0.1 dB (no decode up to 6E6 list);
 12/13 + 13/14: +1.7 dB (decodes BER 21.4% rank 0);
 11/12 + 13/14: +0.7 dB (decodes BER 22.6% rank 82);

All three: +2.6 dB;
