Navtex reception
      12/05/2008 13:27

I have had a few problems getting my Nasa PC Navtex to work (previous post).

Nasa have sent me new software which is much easier to use and does enable some reception - but all I am getting currently is the Dutch and German coastguards - there is no coverage here and weather for the German Bight is not top of the priority list in the north of Scotland.

What do others get - I at least expected to get Portpatrick, Malin Head and some of the English stations. How much difference does antenae position make?

Is this reception typical of Navtex?

I was also intending getting an SSB receiver to get RTTY - would this be a good move?
