Aero HFDL abbreviations

[GB46]

Can anyone point me to a throrough list of acronyms and abbreviations and their definitions as transmitted by ground stations? I simply cannot find the meanings of quite a few of them. Eor example, under MFPDU I'm always seeing "TXW=0", but what is TXW? That seems to be the most difficult one, but there are many others, and they're omitted from every listing I've ssen of aeronautical terms.

Thanks, Frank. I guess that's a possibility, and seeing as how TX does stand for transmit, TXWX would make it an even greater possibility. Let's see if anyone else wants to hazard a guess. ;

Did you ever get a listing. I get tons of messages in but the only ones I seem to understand are the position reports.
All the AC traffic and ground station traffic is a bit of a mystery to me.
There has to be a user manual that explains the codes and what is being sent? No?

Sounds like you could use a local sectional showing ATC patterns and a map of the airport you monitor.
(my 2 cents)

Probably the best place to look for HFDL abbreviation definitions would be the sub-group or the Utility DXers Forum, both are on the groups.io server. The links are below. It's free to join groups.io, and I have yet to see much junk mail, and I belong to several groups

main groups.io Group

A Group for those interested in ACARS / VDL2 / JAERO. HFDL is discussed in a sub-group. Mainly to exchange ideas and help members to get the best results. Not meant to discuss everyone's 'catch of the day'. Those will find a larger audience in the https://groups.io/g/UDXF.
