...seeing if anyone may have some tips on reception regarding NAVTEX broadcasts?...i live appx 180 nautical miles from the new orleans uscg navtex transmitter, which is well within their published range for good reception...i am using a tecsun pl-880 on 517khz usb and have tried with the internal ferrite antenna as well as my inverted v dipole (decode is with black cat systems navtex decoder for android)...i can barely, barely hear the signal at times, but too much interference/static to have a copyable signal.
any suggestions on improving signal capture or are there too many space and atmospheric issues to overcome?
thanks!
