And if I may add, this is one of the very few coastal stations still running the "voice mirror" on their frequencies in the HF band. Most of the stations have been demolished and those surviving usually run only digital/rtty. Some can still be heard with cw, Italy, Korea, China etc but the marine bands for casual SSB/CW listening are mostly dead. When I was a "marconi" onboard ocean-going vessels in the 70's and 80's, the marine band was full of stations. Sic transit gloria mundi - never got this clear - is it Gloria travels around the world? hmm .-) Jari
