ULF,

Last night, before starting to TX, i started a record of the VLF (0...16 kHz) streams by IK1QFK and also by SQ5BPF. During the transmission period there was no break of the streams, good.

Meanwhile the post-processing for the data file shows that the message is also decodable at IK1QFK, who is in 493 km distance, http://k7fry.com/grid/?qth=JN39WI&from=JN34RW
Renatos stream is from the E field. The angle between my loop and his QTH is 54 deg, so there will be some directional loss.

Attached is a screenshot showing the processing chain and the decode result as well as the SNR, 16.09 dB!

So this transmission was also decoded in Italy which certainly is a first ULF message detection DL > I.

Thanks to Renato for providing the stream and to Paul for hosting it.

73, Stefan

Hello Markus, ULF,

I'm now sitting in my car, TXing in the forest. It is very silent here. I can hear a faint 'crk' in the FETs when the phase toggles :-)
Getting 2.44 A now on the 1130mground loop, 487 W TX power (not as much as it could be for the planned TX time though).

Now, message parameters:

f = 2970.1 Hz
Start time: 06.APR.2019  20:25:00.3 UTC
Symbol period: 6 s
Characters: 7
CRC bits: 16
Coding 16K21A
Antenna current: 2.4 A
Duration: 02:04:48 [hh:mm:ss]

Reports welcome :-)

73, Stefan
