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.
