Hello folks, I'm a newcomer to this mailing list,
Incidentally measured frequencies of DCF39/49 yesterday.
DCF77 (77.5) and DCF39 (138.83/139.17) are continuously
Fs recorded here at our Monitoring Station (qth: Jokela,
60N34 25E00), that's for LF propagation studies.
Qth of the latter is Burg, perhaps that is why somebody
may call it DBF39. Qth of DCF49 probably Mainflingen?

Yes and No.
By vewing the demodulated audio in
SSB mode on the scope, I can discern
different message lengths, short messages
and long messages.
Long messages appearing most frequently,
short messages appear with relatively
large repetition times.
As all radio stations have to identify
themselves from time to time, I would expect
that short messages _might_ contain the
station ID where long messages obviously
contain the mentioned remote control commands.
So I do not care about the remote control
commands, but intend to "see" the station ID.
Some OMs refer the station to as DBF39
others refer to it as DCF39.
End of last year I spoke with a technician
at EFR (the company using a.m. LF station
for their remote control service). He informed
me, that DCF39 is still used to identify the
station. By displaying the ASCII messages I would
like to confirm that this is actually the
case.
