Subject: [RTTY] Commerical Marine Station Using PACTOR
I was doing some SWL'ing yesterday evening after the Aegean RTTY contest and
came across this commercial marine station KKL in Vashon, WA on 8182 kHz. On
their web page http://www.kklradio.com they offer email messaging services
via what they call an ALE box, which costs the customer $3075 and uses the
PACTOR 2 and PACTOR 3 modems.
I was a bit surprised of their existence as I thought that the only
commercial marine station left in the USA was WLO in Mobile, AL
73 & GUD DX,
