Hi Jim,
Yes but the messages from VO1NA took much longer to decode at limilar
distances. I don't know exactly, i think it was something between 4...6
days to produce a decode at DL0AO ?
But that was with a longer TX period and in the deep winter. Not to
think about the local noise differences and antenna directivity... Jay
uses a pure omni-directional E field probe whereas DL0AO used a
software combined cardioid antenna pointing to EW exactly.
In the end there are some uncertainties which makes it hard to
determine the actual E-W/W-E attenuation. But it looks like something
between 10...20 dB is a good estimate.
Depending on the time it needs to produce a lucky 5 character decode at
W1VD, i will soon move to 17.47 kHz again to start experimenting with
Edgar in VK7, just a path of 16805 km
(http://k7fry.com/grid/?qth=QE37PD35&from=jn49ik00wd).
Then at night we can try to transfer a message to W1VD at 17.47 kHz to
see the difference of the attenuation. The old graphs suggest a big
difference but i bet it is not much, maybe 6 dB.

Stefan,
Thank
you for the reminder. All of the permeable-core selection/placement and
winding improvements come to mind when you mention that number.
Correcting
the sentence below: “(ERP ratio 16dB)…offset
a nominal E-W/W-E attenuation ratio (9 dB EW/WE ratio for 6Mm path) by
7dB.
Excellent
ERP, and glad that Markus pointed out the quantitative consistency of
same-month E-W and W-E link results with non-reciprocity at 8270 Hz.

Thanks Jim,
ERP is 400 uW. Often discussed but my statement here :-)

Congratulations
Jay and Stefan, and thanks Markus for the perspectives and reference
points. I have a rough recollection of Stefan’s estimated ERP, which
would seem to slightly more than offset a nominal E-W/W-E attenuation
ratio, making Markus’ two propagation observations particularly
interesting, as is the Forest question.
Fine
work Stefan and Jay.

Subject: Re: LF: VLF DK7FC > W1VD 8.27 kHz EbNaut more
success!
Hi Jay,
Stefan,
really good work, truly amazing!
Noticing that Stefan hadn't sent another repeat last
night 24/25th, I wondered whether the experiment might have already
been concluded successfully - yes it had ;-)
Considering that Joe has been making the TA W-E path with only 10 uW,
in retrospective it seems not so surprising that Stefan's much stronger
signal managed to overcome the E-W nonreciprocity. On the other
hand, when Uwe had sent a very long carrier in March 2014,
no conclusive trace was ever detected in Virginia. Now I wonder
whether Stefan's recent transmission has also been picked up in Forest?
All the best,
Markus (DF6NM)

After a
successful one character reception earlier in the week, we can now
report the successful reception of a 2 character message. Stacking of
3 transmissions was required (0221, 0222 and 0223). There is also
a 0224 file but it has timing issues and may or may not be usable.
