[Lowfer] Navtex 2/12 Overnight

[n8tl]

Jay and Garry:

I think what happened is that 1E Niton does extended outlook broadcasts 
at 0040UTC  and Charleston
4E does broadcasts at the same time 0040UTC. YAND's Schedule section was 
consulted by the program
and assigned 1E.  What I actually was hearing was probably 4E.
