decoded the 20171205 transmissions on 17470.1Hz, but without the
noiseblanker. the decoded messages were already published, so i'm including
them here too.

i will try it with additional notching and a noiseblanker and it that makes a
big difference i will add it to my 17470.1Hz grabber on the klubnl.pl page as
well

Hi VLF,
Tomorrow i'm going to gtry to pass a first EbNaut message over to EA5DOM.
Here are the details:
f = 17470.1000 Hz
Start time: 05.Dec.2017 07:00:00 UTC
Symbol period: 120 s
Characters: 1
CRC bits: 6
Coding 8K19A
Duration: 08:00 [hh:mm]
Antenna current: 1 A

Hi VLF
Congratulations Stefan and thank you all for the good information exchanges
in the reflector
It is all the effort at your side Stefan. I still didn't do the homework to
decrease the local QRM, which is
quite high as you can see in the 25KHz spectrogram. There is a very nasty
noise which appeared just
this last couple of days and affects exactly 17470Hz. It is random and runs
for a couple hours. Can be seen
as vertical noise lines in the lower spectrograms and is very noticeable in
the 47uH spectrogram
It is my first detection of Ham activity under LF so far. And there is a
lot to improve to get same results
at 8270Hz. A new Rx setup in a different (hopefully cleaner) QTH is in the
"To Do" list ;-)

Hello VLF friends,
This morning i looked on the EA5DOM VLF grabber and saw much better
traces of the carrier on
17.4701 kHz.
https://ea5dom.ure.es/grabber/index.html
I find this is a valid one-way contact or carrier detection and i
think it is the first time
that this was done by amateurs between DL and EA.
A distance of 1393 km,
http://k7fry.com/grid/?qth=IM98XN&from=jn49ik00wd
It looks like there is some QSB on that path, higher than observed a
similar distance at 8270
Hz.
We can now think about improvements and about a first message
attempt...
73, Stefan
