Re: LF: Ham Navtex report

Hello Mike/G3GMS and Mauro/IK2GFT, Victor/PA3FNY and Roelof/PA0RDT,

Mani thanks for your reports on my NAVTEX test transmission. I'm glad to see such an interest and i didn't know that there is a NAVTEX DX group :-)
Very interesting. Have you all been radio operators on vessels in the past or presence?

Would you think that this mode is suitable for MF amateur radio communication during high QRN times?

If there is more interest, maybe by other listeners in that NAVTEX DX group, i could run the beacon a bit longer.

Any suggestions what information is missed in the beacon text?

Best 73, Stefan/DK7FC
