With the new synthesizer and now a "real" MF receiver, I've been 
exploring the regions below the region populated by the Bloviator in 
Chief, and there is a whole lot more down there than I ever imagined.  I 
thought I'd find a few ancient NDB's, there are a whole bunch apparently 
still well used, and they appear later at nite.  I've found every DGPS 
station in CA [8], I've copied ham WSPR's from more than 3,000 km, and 
I've now discovered NAVTEX on 518 Kcs.

I can get a weather synopsis from anywhere along the Pacific Coast of 
NA, and Notices to Mariners, and I can tell you when a given DGPS site 
will be unusable.  Now, all I need is a boat.

Thanks Elecraft, this has been a cool addition to my K-Line, over and 
above the better QSK and CW.
