I pass on this information. Forest Moor is close to the town of Harrogate and also adjacent to the National Security Agency set-up at Menwith Hill. Menwith Hill is mainly radomes and Forest Moor is believed to be a monitoring facility. But my correspondent believes there to be transmitting antennas at both sites. He has 5450 listed on 5450 as GXQ London (Forest Moor) - it's unclear exactly what this means. Could it be that the Volmet transmissions originate from West Drayton (near to London) and are broadcast via Forest Moor? We carried out an experiment at around 1900UTC on the evening of the 19th. My correspondent lives about 8 miles from Forest Moor and he had very poor signals on 5450, while the parallel transmission on 11253 was only just audible. At my location - about 50 miles or so to the west - I had a loud strong signal on 5450 and a weak to fair one on 11253. Could it be that he lives in the night-time skip zone so close to the transmitters, but I do not. We should both have heard West Drayton at similar strengths. I hope this is of help...........73 Noel R.

I'm not an utility expert, but I'd say that there are two stations in the same frequency. "GXQ" resembles the identification that airports use, while MPL2 sounds more like a military designator. Possibly military and civil aviation are sharing the same frequency. Just a thought... Elmer Escoto San Pedro Sula, HONDURAS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Pogue" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <Hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2007 4:58 PM Subject: [HCDX] VOLMET question I received a nice QSL card from VT Communications in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, UK for my reception of the VOLMET on 5450 kHz. I originally had this listed in my log as West Drayton RAF VOLMET call sign MPL2. However, the card lists what appears to be a call sign of "GXQ." My question is, what is the correct nomenclature and call sign for this VOLMET on 5450 kHz? The station was logged last March 2007. Thanks for any clarification anyone can provide.
