yo enconrto una noticia que en Dover lo han instalado una estacion dedicada en hacer un test automatico de DSC en 2,4,6,8,12 MHz.

Si el barco tiene una emisora con DSC:
Para hacer en el menu el Test Call hay que usar la MMSI de esta estacion que es 002320204.
y la estacion va a transmitir automaticamente una repuesta que estara signalizado en ti display como "ACK received".
Esto sirve para comprobar todo la cadena:
- la tranmision funciona con exito
- la recepcion con su antena DSC aparte y el receptor de escucha trabajan bien.
Ademas hay que tener en cuenta la frequencia apropriada.
Soy interesado si este estacion da resultados en las aguas espanolas.
Gracias, Willy
A FIRST FOR SNARGATE RADIO!

"The MCA just asked today whether Europe's only MFHF Test Facility, here at GMDSS Training in Dover, is operational, having been licenced as Europe's only MF/HF Coast Radio Station operational on all MF and HF Bands.
Oostende, Lisbon and Roma do offer HF services, but not on all Bands. Before satellite communication all long range communication was conducted on HF with CRSs located in all maritime countries.
Most have now ceased operation. Indeed the UK has no provision of any kind for shipping to make telephone, Telex, FAX or web-based commercial or private communication what so ever. Even satellite communication uses the Dutch Ground Earth Station in Burum.
Shipping is obliged to make live test calls weekly on MF or HF, but with few CRSs remaining we decided we would see if we could do the necessary. After many years of trying, OFCOM licenced us earlier this year and we will appear in the official ALRS Vol. 5 as SnargateRadio, callsign MNC, MMSI 002320204.
The hours of operation will be 0900 to 1700 weekdays with automatic responses to DSC test calls only. No provision has been licenced for R/T or data traffic -- but we are thinking about it for the future even though we think OFCOM will be very reluctant to even consider it.
