Sounds like the USCG ... got one here in Milwaukee 297khz ... sounds like RTTY
(teletype) ... it's 30db over S9 here ... makes a nice reference signal for
antenna work. I forget the official name for this type of LW service.

NAVTEX is only broadcast on one frequency (518) as far as I know. I wonder if
you might be hearing Differential GPS?

Speaking of longwave, I have a loud digital signal on 100 kHz. Does anyone know
what it is? LORAN?

I believe the Milwaukee DGPS is on 297kHz, check a USCG site for
details.
LORAN C is on 100kHz
