FREQUENZA CALL LOCALITA'
8722 WDI MOBILE
8782 KFS PALO ALTO
13140 WCC CHATHAM
13149 KLN LONG ISLAND
13158 KPH SAN FRANCISCO
I bollettini, di circa 10 minuti, vengono trasmessi ai minuti 15 e 45 di ogni ora. Al termine di ogni bollettino la stazione si identifica con il proprio call trasmesso in codice morse (CW).
Verificando le varie frequenze, alle 6.15 UTC di questa mattina, dopo un nulla di fatto alle 5.45, sono riuscito ad ascoltare con segnale abbastanza buono la KLN di Long Island sui 13149 KHz.
Alle fine della trasmissione la stazione ha identificato trasmettendo il Call KLN in CW.
Sulla frequenza di 8722 KHz, alle 5.45 UTC si ascoltava invece un segnale davvero basso perso tra QRN e QSB, nulla che permettesse una identificazione univoca o una minima fruizione del segnale. Al termine della trasmissione però, grazie al segnale in CW grezzamente "ripulito"dopo la registrazione, ho avuto la conferma che si trattava della WDI da Mobile (Alabama).
Nulla invece sulle altre frequenze che proverò a monitorare nuovamente nei prossimi giorni.
For a couple of weeks now, some US coastal stations not dependent on the USCG have been reported active, transmitting marine weather bulletins in voice mode in USB. The calls are well known to those who frequent shortwave. These are coastal stations that operated from the States and were later incorporated into Globe Wireless. Currently, the stations are controlled by a company called Global HF Network that seems to be a continuation (or a re-edition) of the activity of Globe Wireless. Doing some research online I found these frequencies and stations:

13149 KLN LONG ISLAND
13158 KPH SAN FRANCISCO
The bulletins, of about 10 minutes, are transmitted at minutes 15 and 45 of every hour. At the end of each bulletin the station identifies itself with its call transmitted in Morse code (CW).
Checking the various frequencies, at 6.15 UTC this morning, after nothing at 5.45, I managed to listen with a fairly good signal to KLN of Long Island on 13149 KHz.
At the end of the transmission the station identified itself by transmitting the Call KLN in CW.
On the frequency of 8722 KHz, at 5.45 UTC instead a very low signal was heard lost between QRN and QSB, nothing that allowed a unique identification or a minimal use of the signal. At the end of the transmission however, thanks to the signal in CW roughly "cleaned" after recording, I had confirmation that it was the WDI from Mobile (Alabama).
Nothing on the other frequencies that I will try to monitor again in the next few days.
