DGPS Logs 20-21 Mar 2017
« on: March 21, 2017, 1328 UTC »
A new station for me, Helgoland, Germany. According to Wikipedia: it is a small German archipelago in the North Sea. The islands were at one time Danish and later British possessions.  Also according to Wikipedia the spelling is Heligoland. The decodes:

Look at that brief opening. It's on a split channel, so there wasn't competition from a domestic station. This is a great example of why if you want to catch the rare DGPS (and probably NDBs as well) you need to record the entire band.

Also appearances by Richmond, Whidbey Island, Pigeon Point, Azores and even Cabo Carvoeiro Lt, Portugal. A great night overall.

Fantastic!

I've also been decoding 0.5 channels on another system. Have yet to get one decode on the 0.5 kHz ch.
