Greetings:

Requesting reception reports on our new NDB beacon LYQ on 529 KHZ just
below the AM broadcast band.


Can you hear it??? What is your QTH???? please post reports here!!


Despite lots of static crashes, and BC Band bleed through (though I could
not find the BC station that matched the QRM I was receiveing) I was able
to hear LYQ at approx 08:00 UTC, 40mi northwest of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Received with an Icom-706IIG and an 80M Carolina Windom.

Thats about 562 miles.
