There is sometimes a good path to South America, but no 600m station is QRV there yet. Maybe already known to most of us, but a very handy tool for this activity is YAND Yet Another Navtex Decoder. It has some tools in it: Filter on distance and signal quality. 2D and 3D display selection of stations. The program is more dedicated for DX listeners on Navtex, as a future it also decodes and saves the received msg's. The only disadvantage is that it's fixed on the Windows preferred souncard. (At least I couldn't find where to I can change that) Download: http://users.telenet.be/NAVTEX/YAND/ It will ask access to the internet and check for the database of navtexstations on the website mentioned above..
