The NDB List, DGPS List, DSC List and the NavtexDX Lists
We have four groups, each specialising in certain aspects of the radio hobby. The NDB List covers
all kinds of radiobeacons, from Non-Directional Beacons (NDBs), Ham Propagation Beacons and
even the VOR Systems used by many aircraft, in fact just about any sort of beacon that uses CW
(Morse) identification codes. The DGPS List covers datamodes such as the ones used by DGPS
Beacons, but also covers Time Signal Stations, WeatherFAX and LORAN reception as well. The DSC
List covers the GMDSS DSC mode, and the NavtexDX groups covers the NAVTEX and NBDP
systems used by many mariners. Below you will find links to each of these groups where you can
sign up for the ones that you are interestd in.
You might well wonder why we don’t just include them all in one very large group, but imagine
you were only interested in just one of those modes, and think how many unwanted posts you
would have to plough through to find the ones you wanted, we think that smaller and more
specialist is the best way to deal with this problem, and of course you can subscribe to all of them
if you prefer and we won’t mind a bit! :-)
Join the NDB List
The NDB List was formed in November 1998 to cater for European NDB enthusiasts, but has now
grown to a worldwide membership covering all parts of the world. Please note that this group is
privately owned, but it is also a very friendly and well behaved group, and although we're not
elitist we do take the security of our members very seriously, so if you are a troll, flamer or
spammer don't bother to apply, you will definitely not be welcomed or tolerated here.

Join the NAVTEX DX Group
This specialist group covers the NAVTEX mode exclusively for those with an interest in this
subject. The group members monitor long distance transmissions on both longwave (490.0 &
518.0 kHz) and shortwave (4209.5 & HF NDBP). NAVTEX transmissions consist of navigational and
meteorological warnings and forecasts, as well as urgent maritime safety information for ships.

Join the DGPS List
This specialist group mainly covers the DGPS mode, but we also include other exotic modes such
as LORAN, Time Signals and Weather Fax subjects as well. The International DGPS band covers
frequencies between 283.5 and 325 kHz, and can be decoded using programs such as 'DSCdecoder,
Amalgamated DGPS, Multipsk and Spectrum Lab (plus a few others as well).
Join the DSC List
This is another increasingly popular mode which now has its very own specialist group which
is totally dedicated to it, and with a great programs such as the excellent 'YaDD', decoding
these signals has never been easier, and more and more people are discovering the fun of
monitoring these signals on the various MF, HF and VHF Bands (2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 & 156 MHz
etc.) every day.

NOTE# - We have had a number of people joining the groups just to download a copy
of the 'YaDD' or ‘YaND’ programs and then instantly unsubscribing, this is unnecessary and
wastes the Moderators' time, as both programs can be downloaded from the ‘Datamodes’
page on this website.
