ULF,
After 9 hours of work the carrier is now back since 01:00 UTC. I'm now
running the actual target level of 56 mA, so the signal should
be 6.3 dB stronger now.
Eventually i'll have to do some worke work tomorrow but maybe not.
The carrier will stay on the air for a few days without interruptions
if all works well!
Reports welcome :-)
73, Stefan
PS: Forgot to send the message last night (morning actually), must have
been tired ;-)

Hello ULF friends,
I just opened up a new band by starting some activity on 1570 Hz
! It is the 191 km band! :-)
Since 8 UTC a carrier is running at 1570.01 Hz. Soon the first trace
will appear on a spectrogram from my tree which is in 3.5 km distance
from the transmitter.
See the developing trace at
http://www.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/schaefer_vlf/DK7FC_VLF_Grabber2.html
The spectrogram scrolls with 10 minutes/pixel.
The carrier will stay on the air for 2.5 hours. It is just a first
test. So far the antenna current is just 27 mA but tonite i'll try to
reach the target level of 58 mA which means 12 kV again acros the
special iron cored coil. This will mean about 120 nW ERP then.
DL0AO is already watching the band. I hope to be received by Paul and
at the reomte site of DL4YHF. I'm not planning to do /p RX experiments
on that band, just focusing on these 3 RX stations.
73, Stefan
