[Lowfer] Navtex 2/12 Overnight

[Garry Hess]

Tom, thanks for the text file of your Navtex decodes for "E".

Your first line is "2015-02-12 00:40:27 78> ZCZC EB58". My SeaTTY output 
at that time is a very long weather report beginning with

ZCZC EB58
FZNT25 KWNM 112132
OFFN03

timestamped 00:40:25. At my end this is followed by "clean" short 
messages EA47, then EA12, all clearly from the Savannah, GA station.

The only copy I read in your file for EB58 is related to the US east 
coast so I'm sure it's also from the Savannah, GA source. However, 
unlike me, you have a lot of garbled text and that could be due to 
interference from Niton, England. I forget what antenna you're using but 
if it has some directivity that depresses Savannah that would make Niton 
more likely. Also, I know that being farther east makes European 
reception more likely.

Seems strange that given the decoded text for EB58 YaND would identify 
it with Niton. But YanD comes from Europe and probably has a bias toward 
identifying European stations. I have YaND 5.6 installed on my computers 
and it's no doubt far out of date. But I recall the station list it came 
with didn't even include US stations; they had to be added later.
