Hi Geoff,

Next pass if you don't hear anything on 145.87 or `45.93 try to listen 
to delfi's emergency signal.
Downlink signal in emergency mode are 2 tones, of 500Hz and 900Hz each, 
modulated DSB onto the (suppressed) carrier, use USB to receive this signal.
These tones themselves are modulated with 100Bd FSK each with raw 
payload data. If you hear this signal, please record a wav file if possible.

Thanks,

Bram
