Well done Stefan! The DFCW message was very well visible at DL0AO in Amberg:

but pretty marginal here at DF6NM in suburban Nuremberg:

There were a number of interruptions. The carrier stopped arround 4 UTC. It was restarted arround 9 UTC but stopped again 20 minutes later. The reason is heavy snow which triggered the safety function. I disabled the function manually and observed the antenna current. It dropped down to 500 mA during the snow, -6 dB. Now it is back since 14 UTC at 1 A. I hope it will hold some time so we can see more traces on the grabbers...

In the afternoon a DFCW-90 transmission was done over to DL0AO in 226 km distance. Markus may report...

...there has been an interruption of the carrier between 23:00...23:50 UTC. It is now back with opposite phase, i.e. the same phase as during the 700 mA test.

Hi Stefan,

good to see the carrier back, I've already been missing that cheerful green trace on DL0AO ;-)

But it looks like the phase is inverted now. Did you happen to change something about the pickup probe circuitry? A more likely explanation might be that the SpecLab PSK has unintentionally been enabled (a = 0 or 1, bypass factors 1 or -1). It would be nice to have the phase back where it was...

Hello VLF,

The TX was switched OFF at 19 UTC, so the carrier was on air for 116 hours :-)

Since 20:30 UTC it is now back at 1 A antenna current, 3 dB more. The QRG is still 17.470100000 kHz
