Dear friends,<br><br>I found what I beliece to be an off-band packt activity, in the marine band in CT land and all over the coast.<br><br>After looking around and talking with some local ops, we are inclined to believe that these trasnmissions, in the 161 mhz segment, belong to some kinf of marine buoy network.<br><br>The tx's are like this:<br><br> 1:Fm xxxx To CQ <UI pid=F0 Len=80 >[16:56:26]<br>Y~}TM]aCbOAHFPKMb}@n~DzAr_lh|tWChkC@pGPCFCp^jcy_sI~_WFhOll@lGMVA@ygijjf<br><br>I changed the original callsign, since we think that this is some kind of official use :)<br><br>I did research a bit with google and found out that there are indeed many buoy designs that use VHF packet as their method of data transmission<br><br>Does anyone here have a better clue of what this might be and how could one see (decode) the garbled text?<br><br>For us, this has become a "summer mistery to be solved while on the beach"<br><br>Any help would be apreciated and my apologies in advance if this is somehow off-topic for the list.<br><br>73's<br><br>Paulo<br><br> <br /><hr />Hotmail: Correio Electrónico Poderoso e Gratuito com segurança Microsoft. <a href='https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969' target='_new'>Obtenha-o já.</a></body>
