Stefan and Paul,

Excellent results; nicely done. 

The ratio of phase variation* Warsaw/Cumiana seems somewhat (factor of 2 or 3?) 
disproportionate to the Warsaw/Cumiana Eb/N0 ratio. Do you have a feeling about 
whether this is more likely to be attributable to timing or non-Gaussian noise 
or a precision limit in the processing or (ref Stefan's comment): difference in 
groundwave/skywave interference? 

* day-to-day phase variation 

73,

Jim AA5BW

Thanks Paul for the summary. These informations are very useful for me and we 
all get an impression about phase and SNR stability in this range of distances.

It looks like the phase is quite stable, i'm happy with the results. 
Interestingly the phase is more stable in Cumiana than in Bielefeld. 
Maybe this is a groundwave/skywave interference effect.

We didn't hear from Alex. Didn't he say he will be back on the 10th? I hope its 
all fine.

73, Stefan
