Hi LF

first of all, thanks to Stefan and Marco for reports and to the US' friends for their efforts in trying to decode my  5 characters message of yesterday.

The Ebnaut signal is generated here using Paul Nicholson's linux EbSynth version 0.7c.

This program generates a 1524 Hz tone (referenced by a 10 kHz coming from Neo-8 GPS) bpsk modulated with a sigmoid phase slew keying. EbSynth also cures soundcard's glitches by using an internal feedback. Thanks to Paul latest modifications, 'EbSynth' has also a PTT management with a programmable timer for carrier ON/OFF before and after bpsk.  See attached the screenshot of the program EbSynt running here.

Great job Paul !

The tone is sent to my 'vintage' SAILOR exciter setted to dial 136 kHz USB.

The exciter has an internal 10 MHz ref. oscillator referenced to the same GPS 10 kHz.

Another EbNaut attempt tonight until 06.00 UT of April 19, 2018

Characters 115

Symb 0.3 s

code 8K19A, CRC16

duration 28:28.80

Hi Domenico,

No problem to copy the 5 char message, see attachment.
I tried to decode the 200 char message but get no decode. Can you try 8K19A and 100 characters first? It looks like it was to early in the night for that message, 1 hour later the propagation is better it seems.
Are you using SpecLab for transmitting the message or ebsynth?
