[IRCA] Chile x 2
Jim Renfrew, Holley NY
Three out of the last four days I've logged "K" Puerto Montt CHILE on 518
Navtex. This morning I had it again, followed at 0437 edt by CBT Talcahuano
CHILE, a new one here. The text was somewhat fractured, but the "CBT" call
letters were there, and Spanish text. As with Puerto Montt, the schedule
seems to have flipped. I should be getting the "C" broadcast in English at
this time, not "J". Also, "C" or "J" should be broadcasting at xx20, not
xx37. Not knowing a whole lot about these stations, I suppose the Puerto
Montt station could have relayed this report during its time slot? In fact,
on some of the US East Coast stations I have seen contain reports for marine
conditions in Honolulu - and this might cause an unsophiticated Navtex DXer
(like me) to conclude I received the Honolulu station. Any navtex veterans
have any thoughts about this?
