518KHz Navtex 60 miles from Niton

[Moose]

Sorry for the double posting, but after posting on MBC I thought everyone here would know better (No, I don't think everyone is TOTALLY clueless on MBC/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif)

Morning all, (why am I here now?)

I bought a new NASA dual frequency aerial at the show today (yesterday) which makes my 518KHz aerial redundant. What are odds of me getting a decent signal if I put the aerial on my Chimney? I am in Pulborough, which is 60ish miles from Niton (no serious hills in the way, only the south downs) Has anyone tried it?
Just seems a shame to chuck away a good aerial (unless anyone wants it?..................I thought not)

Should work on your chimney.

I've had mine working from my window ledge in Berkshire.

I spent some time in the Med Spain, and at times I got a better signal from Niton then Cabo de Nao just along the coast so I am sure you will get a signal.
