I don't know what the data transmission is, but the station is NMN, which is a Coast Guard station in Virginia. (Sorry if you already knew that part and were just asking about the three data bursts.)

BTW, I'm now hearing beacons from NOJ (Coast Guard--Alaska) and
WLO (ship-to-shore, Alabama) under NMN. This is at about 0230 UTC. Patty |

Patty 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.

A lot of the maps are still hand-drawn, or were the last time I checked. 4269.1, 6494.5, 10534.1, and 13508.1 kHz. Between charts they run RTTY. |

Those CFH people apparently do 'final edits' on those maps before they're transmitted, that would explain all the drawings you see on those. CFH also transmits on 10943 kHz and sends this message: NAWS DE CFH ZKR F1 WIWW EEOR RQUP YWTR IEPE QWEIP QYTUY WWQIW AR over and over again only on this particular frequency. Not sure what this gibberish means though. I know ZKR is a Z signal of some kind, but what's with the rest of that stuff? Jeff Seale Louisville, KY Satellit 800, YB550PE, DX440, BC780, Pro95 |
