Jay,

Yes, a very impressive list, even for a 1000' BOG. I'm inland too and 
have only picked up a couple TA stations. Might do better if the US 
stations adhered to their 10 minute windows. Like J.B., I can pick up 
some western stations but beyond CA and BC even that is tough. I think 
the new schedule pretty well precludes decoding Hawaii but Kodiak still 
comes through when conditons are right. Stations in Chile do too, though 
much less frequently.  Mark in UT has picked up Japanese and Korean 
Navtex, on 424 kHz I think. That would be a real challenge and you might 
have to add foreign language characters to SeaTTY to get the printout.
