[Lowfer] 518 kHz Navtex

[Garry Hess]

Conditions seemed down here last night, but you never know what might 
show up. The highlight of the evening was a pair of area 15 station K 
decodes around 0835Z from Puerto Montt, Chile at 9413 km. As in the past 
this station sends messages in Spanish rather than the international 
standard of English for 518 kHz.

Otherwise, the number of area 4 station decodes was below par with just 
11, but DX stations B in Bermuda, I in Greenland, and R in Puerto Rico 
did come through. From area 12, only US west coast stations Q and W decoded.
