NOJ is a tough one to pick up out here in the midwest (Louisville, KY), but
I have had some success in doing so.

Some other commonly used NMN frequencies a

4316 kHz, 8502 kHz, 12788 kHz

I like to download NOAA weather maps from the USCG every once in a while
when the signal quality is AOK. A typical download of a single map/photo
takes about 10 minutes though but it's still kinda' fun. If you save them
in JPEG or PNG format (SeaTTY, the FAX/RTTY receiver app on my PC prefers
the latter), they won't be too big in terms of file size.
