Hi.

This frequency is used for german survey vessels operating in other than normally predicted waters.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Thomas,

I did some additional digging this morning and I concluded that the station is DWD DDK7. Although listed as an RTTY station, both my 2013 Klingenfuss Super Frequency List and Klingenfuss 2023 Shortwave Frequency Guide has it listed as a digital/fax station.

Frequency:  15988,0 [kHz]
Call:       DDK 7
Station:    Hamburg Meteo
Country:    GER
Modulation: DIG/FAX
Details:    ITA2 50 Baud
