Yes 91081 KHz USB Boston, that's what I tuned too.

I think @W1HD was asking, do you really mean 9108100 Hz, which would be 9108.1 kHz (note the location of the decimal point), and is not the same as 91081 kHz? Units (nothing, as in Hz, k, as in kHz, and M, as in MHz) and decimal places are actually important in describing the correct frequency. 91081 kHz is 91.081 MHz, and I don't think that is what you are tuned to to hear faxes out of Boston. I suppose it is possible that Fax is being transmitted in the middle of the FM broadcast band, but that would surprise me.

It looks like you have either inserted an extra number, dropped some zeros, or moved the decimal point, making your original number something else entirely from what I assume you mean. When I saw your post, I assumed that when you wrote / said 91081 kHz you actually meant 9108.1 kHz, but 91081 kHz is not the same as 9108.1 kHz, and expressing it that way could lead to confusion. I suspect that is the root of @W1HDs question.

USCG station NMF, Boston, MA, is on a center frequency of 9110.0 kHz, which would be 9108.1 kHz USB tuned frequency (for 1.9 kHz radiofax offset).
