[Lowfer] Navtex 500 kHz

[jrusgrove at comcast.net]

Thanks to all that responded with additional info and lists of stations received on Navtex. One 
thing that I haven't seen (yet) is is a list of what each Navtex station is running for power and 
antenna. This would be worthwhile to know to help predict what might be possible with the 500 kHz 
Part 5 experiments. It appears that Navtex transmitters are available in the 0.5 - 5 kw range. If 
anyone has further info I'd appreciate seeing it.

Received several messages from CBP Puerto Montt Chile on 518 last night at a distance of 5726 miles. 
California started decoding around midnight and continued sporadically until shortly after sunrise 
here. Still looking for the elusive O in Honolulu. That one may take a while and more than a little 
luck!
