John (and all),

Your comments are quite interesting.

I monitor NAVTEX on a regular basis. So far this Fall/Winter I have only 
managed one small snippet from one of the Greenland sites and no 
Europeans. However, I do copy all the Canadian and US East Coast 
stations and Puerto Rico and Bermuda every night with great consistency. 
Your comments sound like that from you location Bermuda and Puerto Rico 
are not so regular decodes. It is interesting what differences a few 
hundred Kilometers separation can make.

One of my issues is that the Canadian and US East Coast stations often 
are transmitting at the same time and frequently interfere with one 
another and there is not much I can do about that.

cheers, Graham ve3gtc FN25ig in Embrun, SE of Ottawa
