Rob, Marcus and Stefan - CONGRATS!

Rob, maybe you will make a DFCW60-90 in first time for EU/AF (?) or WSPR15...

Stefan,

Very nice - thanks for you detailed reception reports for the hours between 00:00 and 06:00 and, of course, the decode at 03:00.

I believe the tests have shown that EbNaut may well be a viable QSO mode for LF and that my TX station is working well.

Implementing RX capability for EbNaut is my next goal.

In the mean time, do you see a need to continue with further EbNaut Trial transmissions from my station?  I would be happy to do so but, of course, the hard work is on the RX side so I’ll defer to your suggestions.

Best 73 and thanks to all for the reports and decodes,

Rob - K3RWR
