Letter from radio:
Dear Mr. Varga,
a QSL-card is on its way now.
Many thanks for your very nice reception report of receiving our NAVTEX-broadcasting on 518 kHz! Some time ago we started transmitting a speech weather report for the Mediterrainean Sea. Broadcasting time is 16:00 UTC. Broadcasting times for areas of North - and Baltic Sea are 06:00, 12:00 and 20:00 UTC 30 minutes each. I wonder if you could hear that too.
Our transmitter is located in Pinneberg about 15 km north of Hamburg. We are transmitting national NAVTEX on 490 kHz as well.
Since a long time we are broadcasting marine weather information in RTTY and weather charts in facsimile mode on several long and short wave frequencies.
Here some links which might be of interest:
