WEATHER SERVICE HAMBURG - RTTY

Came across "WEATHER SERVICE HAMBURG" 15/01/2008 1132 UTC on 10100.8 khz, USB, 50 baud and 450 shift. The frequency was very quiet there was no signal strength but the RTTY data was 90% copied.

After a little research I located the Hamburg RTTY Schedule which is a PDF detail the RTTY frequencies and broadcasts times.

Also the original site where I got the above link was here European Weather Forecasts.

Here a sample of what I copied:

Now while on the topic of RTTY Maritime broadcasts, is it just me or is there now (for a while actually) a very small number of Maritime RTTY broadcasts ?. It such a shame :(
