The path from VO1NA to Burlington CT
is only 589 kM ... and it's mostly over water.
Have been attempting to decode VO1NA
for a couple weeks now (both 2100 and 0900 transmissions) and only
have that one success. If I didn't have such an easy time with W4DEX's
transmission I'd think there was something wrong with the receiving
setup! (Suppose that's still possible). There has been no shortage of
very convincing false decodes. Think Stefan is right ... a higher CRC
is needed.
Any chance the lack of VO1NA decodes
on this side of the pond is due to the terminator affecting both the
2100 and 0900 transmissions?
