The second transmission today of the Grimeton base VLF transmitter SAQ was done with my normal HF transceiver. With the help of the Datong VLF converter and the home made ZS6BKW antenna the missiob was easy accomplished.
Okay the converter was a bit overloaded with the ZS6BKW antenna, but I managed to receive them good.
This morning I used FLdigi to decode the cw message, but as you can see in my previous post this was not readable. To be honest software that can decode 100% hand keyed cw are rare…
So now it was Hamradio Deluxe on the test. A bit better :

And of course an mp3 : https://on3jt.byze.be/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/SAQ_july3_2011_12_utc.mp3
I also made a small video with my photo camera. It was filmed without tripod, so my excuses for the no so steady images. I uploade the video on YouTube :

You can hear some intermod while SAQ is tuning. The Datong vlf converter is not designed for big antennas.
