Re: [HCDX] VOLMET question

[Elmer David ESCOTO <elmerescoto@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jim and all.
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...

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.
