Stefan's first transmission started at 23 UT, and less than six minutes were sufficient for a perfect decode ;-)

Good luck all,

Hi Stefan,

that's nice! I'm curious what you're going to say ;-)

But why not join me during odd half hours? Two Hz spacing will be enough to reliably separate our signals, and Jay could look at both our channels in the same file. And we could leave the even slots to Joe, and anyone else who might possibly want to transmit towards Europe.

I think Joe has actually left the plain carrier on 137477 during odd slots, but I think he is far enough from the U.S. east coast to not cause desense there.

Best 73,
Markus

Good idea Markus,

I just had the same idea because i found a nice message.
So i'm using the even half hours.

f = 137.540 kHz

Symbol period: 1 s
Characters: 34
CRC bits: 3
