...8 night transmissions completed. However the last nights transmission stopped at 18. Nov, 04:19 UTC due to strong snow.

I'm thinking about a dynamic safety limit: A dangerous fault on the coil will lead to a sudden drop of the antenna current (> 10 mA/sec) whereas snow or strong rain will cause a slower drop of the antenna current. This could be detected in a more 'intelligent' safety function that will quickly react in case of a fault and it will notice when the current drops very slowly and accept even lower currents...

Thanks Paul,

Oh oh oh it is not easy at all! The stacking works with limited improvement over that path. Wonder if 8270 Hz would work better...
The next transmission is already running..
One could correct the phase and stack then. But this would not be legitimately because the message is unknown to the receiving station, so it can't know the phase before the decode happens.

I'm missing the really low frequencies :-)

Still not there yet.

 2017-12-10/11  Eb/N0 = -13.1 dB  (very noisy night)
 2017-12-11/12  Eb/N0 =  -6.3 dB, phase 125.3
 2017-12-12/13  Eb/N0 =  -6.8 dB, phase 143.2
 2017-12-13/14  Eb/N0 = -19.6 dB
 2017-12-14/15  Eb/N0 =  -6.0 dB, phase 68.8

Stacking

 11/12 + 12/13 gives Eb/N0 = -3.6 dB.
 11/12 + 12/13 + 14/15 gives Eb/N0 = -3.0 dB.

Good signal last night but the phase was a bit
different.
