Hi, 
The other night, I was tuning around on the HF bands & heard a station @ +/- 4.370Mc w/the same female voice that is heard on NOAA Wx VHF broadcasts giving Wx forcast/reports at sea. 
I was using my DX390 & Kaito KA33 indoor MW/SW loop antenna & was having a hard time tuning the station in. 
W/o hearing a call sign or the frequency, I lost the signal & haven't heard it since. 

So, I did an internet search on HF marine Wx broadcasts & came up w/this link, which leads to some very interesting & useful information. 

http://www.weather.gov/om/marine/hfvoice.htm

I didn't find a frequency close to where I was listening listed on this site, but there is good info on this site nevertheless. 
I will continue to try to find that station again, so I can try to get a call sign $/or accurate frequency from the station. 
If any1 has any info on that frequency, I would appreciate it, if you would please share it w/me.
 
Thank You. 
Good DX/QSOing/QSLing.
