US Coast Guard Norfolk,VA Marine Weather Station NMN 2210z & 2323z 8764 4/13/16

2210z Same marine weather as yesterday - station and area of weather report unidentified by computer generated OM.
Broadcast slightly garbled.

2218z ID from Norfolk, Va with call letters.  Could not decipher letters, faded then off air.

2323z  Back on again.  I will say 8764.

2326z ID United States Coast Guard Command Post...off air.

This appears to be NMN, out of Chesapeake VA, and although I was able to twist the BFO all the way and get a clear signal on 8765, it appears that it's truly transmitting on 8764.

EDIT - I didn't see your edit where you indicate you heard station ID. Sorry about that. :)

The Antenna field is in Chesapeake Va , in a rural area about 20 miles from here.  I will post some pics next time I'm down that way.
