Garry:

I'm not really sure. I'm still not positive on how to identify a
NAVTEX station by callsign. I know for sure I'm getting Canadian
stations ( AVNAV ), on 490KHz , and I'm getting Spanish x-missions
according to what I find on the net, these x-missions should be
coming from Argentina, S. AM. That's hard for me to accept due to
the extreme distance. It would be helpful to me if I knew how to
determine the callsign of the station after the " ZCZC " in the
header.
