+m&h Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 We found a fairly unusual item the other day (see SY0758), and thought of looking it up on the marker-type list which we thought we'd seen posted in connection with one or another of the contests. Couldn't find it. Can someone send us there? We're online rather infrequently these days, but will check back here when we can. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment

ArtMan Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Interestingly, the NGS datasheet has this coded as — SY0758_MARKER: DJ = TIDAL STATION DISK Quote Link to comment

+Black Dog Trackers Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 m&h - If you want to be sent to the source, here it is in the famous 'Hippopotamus file'. In my opionion (as a total lay person) the mark is coded incorrectly. It is coded DJ and probably should be coded Z instead. That's a really weird marker and I do believe that you found it where the NGS failed ! Way cool ! Quote Link to comment
