Hi all
Here I am, a bit later than expected (the man came to insulate my roof space
this afternoon - a day early!)
The combined results tables from NAVTEX CLE141 are attached as
CLE141navtex5.xls. Soon they will also be available from the CLE page
http://www.ndblist.info/cle.htm or via
http://www.ndblist.info/ 33 Reporters
56 Radio Countries received
139 Navtex Stations identified
Of the 33 reporters, 14 posted their logs to Navtex DX List and the other
19 were (probably) NDB List only members.
32 reporters took part in our last Navtex CLE, so we've gone one better!
As in previous Navtex CLEs, the 'P' decodes on 4209.5 kHz from Area 11
in the Far East were very difficult to allocate among the Stations thought
to be using 'P'.
After spending a long time trying to reconcile them among themselves and
with the various databases, in the end I had to give up and show all of them
as Chi-lung (Keelung), as stated in most of the logs. I hope the few
listeners who tried to distinguish between the various $11Ps will forgive
me.

(If I don't have an accurate Lat./Long. for some listeners, their
distances above may be a few km in error. Also, some station
locations may not be known with high accuracy).
Many thanks to all who took part and my special thanks to Alan for his
advice and help and to Dirk for easing me into the Navtex DX List.
Our first Combined CLE (NDB List + Navtex DX List) seemed to go
very well - we must do it again!
A few comments caught my eye in the logs so, to end on a mostly
light-hearted note, I thought I'd reproduce them below.
NDB List will be back to a 'normal' CLE for No.142, probably during
the Easter weekend.
Meanwhile, good listening

I was really surprised at just how well 16 and 22 MHz were propagating at
times, and with the MUF getting higher as Solar Cycle 24 progresses these
bands could offer lots of interesting catches.
Lots of static and my local noise 'factory' was going full tilt this weekend
making reception above 3 MHz pretty sloppy.
Thanks to all coordinators for 'forcing me' - ha! - into another facet of
listening.
La Maddalena's signal is quite potent - whenever it appears!
It was good fun again changing frequencies as per schedule and being
curious on checking logs in the morning.
An interesting event and especially nice to the ears!
No mariner could use my very poor 1-2% clear text decodes. - - -
But since we're just looking for DX and not weather reports, just a brief
ident is all it takes for a logging, and that's mostly all that I got.
A combination of wild activity (debugging a new NAVTEX decoder,
fixing the preamp blown by Wednesday night's thunderstorms, looking
for stations on six frequencies) and idle waiting (everything's ready ---
where are the signals?)
Put all other interesting listening aside and heard all the days only
Navtex.
Had fun looking for stations on HF! I used 2 setups here so I could
catch them on various freq's on the same schedule. Came in handy!
Managed to catch some TAs, most for the first time. Printed Portpatrick
5 times over the weekend including a 9-minute message almost error free,
like a local.
Another interesting CLE! More stations logged on HF than LF - Lots of
long winded 518 kHz Wx forecasts block the DX!
Nice conditions, some interesting first timers and 5 good nights sleep!
It is a bit like deep sea trawling where you put the net down and leave
for a number of hours and then come back to see the catch.
I hadn't seriously monitored Navtex since CLE 120... well, how rusty one
quickly gets !
I'm glad we continue to dabble in data modes occasionally. Lots of fun.
Being a newbie I don't understand what CLE is. Could someone explain?
(I often feel like that too!)
