Mark,

Thanks for the heads up on HGA22 and DCF39. They were strong here too. 
Some years back I decoded DCF39 packets using MixW RTTY software, the 
only code I had at the time with enough flexibility to do the job. Last 
night I couldn't get decodes so perhaps the format has changed. I've 
benefited from the free versions of MultiPSK and CLOCK for years now and 
noticed that the latest version has the European standard for such 
transmissions in the paid mode. I finally broke down and bought a user 
key so I can run the "professional" modes. Only a bit over $40 USD now 
that the Euro has sagged. When it arrives I should be able to decode 
both stations.
