In general the content of NAVTEX is not much of interest for hamradio. It's more the skill to receive the long range stations. One of the programs which fullfills this is Yand. Apart it can receive NAVTEX msg's, the signal will be analysed and this data is stored in a database. The decoder is in one word superb. Especially when the calibrationroutine is performed. An overnite run in NL will sometimes result in unexpected longrange reception. Singapore, Egypte US Canada even with a simple means are no exception. <br />The program is able to identify the transmitter with the aid of a database and needs only some "keywords" to define it's ID, even tough the msg looks garbled.<br />The disadavantage of NAVTEX is, that all stations are on one freq, for longrange transmission slots are likely to overlap. However you will be amazed how Yand will stay synced under these severe conditions.<br />Visit the website for more: http://www.yand.wavetalk.org/<br /><br />Frisnit is another application but generates less info about the quality. It connects to a internet database so others can read the msg received. It's like the many amateur weatherstations reporting on the internet. The decoder is also very good.<br />For those experimenting on MF, NAVTEX transmissions are a valuable source of propagation data.Jan / pa3abkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344955711686006390noreply@blogger.com
