Greenland 518 kHz NAVTEX Dec 12, 2012 0520Z
« on: December 13, 2012, 0404 UTC »
In the night, found a NAVTEX message from Greenland:

ZC IZ57
(20520 UTC DEC 12
GREENLAND UPERNAVIK
NO MESSAGES ON H~N
1NNNN


Not 100% copy, but not too shabby for nearly 2400 miles.

Think the loop was N-S. That station is 19 deg from here, so turned the loop a bit and will see what happens tonight (although the loop has a big lobe so it probably won't make too much difference).
