Hello Jean and All,

  I too have jumped on the PC-HFDL bandwagon and have had some success with
decodes.I started out with the obvious freq's,New York 8912,11315 and 13276
KHz.I was getting alot of the CRC FAIL type messages until I tried 21931KHz
at approx 1900Z.From 1900Z til approx 2300Z I had 10 flights logged.Most of
the flights logged were UPS,AMT and one lone DLH flight.
  Here is what I put together(really edited)from the info that was decoded
from the 10 flights:

 The radio I use by the way is my ole' faithful Grundig Yacht Boy 400
with a simple 75 foot longwire attached from the radio to 4 very tall
pine trees in my back yard.Right at this moment I am trying my hand at
Shannon on 8942KHz but am just getting the CRC FAIL messages.So far I
am pleased with the results.But just dont get too excited thinking you
are going to get the "rapid fire" hits like VHF ACARS!

  For me just another toy to play with!May hats of to Mr.Brain for his
addition to the HF monitoring scene!
