The data transmission at 0149 decodes with EasyPal, which pretty much runs itself and is free.  It can, however be a bit balky on start-up, which is okay with a recording, but awkward when listening "live."  Unlike an SSTV program, which gets regular use, these data transmissions are uncommon. 

I think that I was first exposed to EasyPal for a Shortwave Radiogram program from Kim Elliott.
