| Anyone have any interesting digital transmissions I can tune into? I am just interested in honing my skills. I found a website with a lot of RTTY stuff that had weather forecast, .mil type stuff, aviation and shipping stuff. Just wondering what is out that that I can tune into beside a rag chew session. I have a signalink with my 897 in case anyone is curious. |

digital is about all I use.
I try to make it a point of rotating through some of the more obscure modes. if you're just looking to receive, there is always weather fax. Download SeaTTY, set up, tune to nearest freq. http://www.weather.gov/om/marine/radiofax.htm |
Wefax as mentioned is interesting. Most wefax stations will transmit a series of maps followed by RTTY text forcasts and synopsis info. Hunt around and you will find a station that transmits maps over your AO. SSTV is fun to copy also. Alot of activity on 14.230 usually.

I think I'm close enough to the Point Reyes site to receive without an antenna
