350 kHZ ?beacon?
 

I'm new to this, so this may be a simple question. I found a transmitter at
350 kHz at 1:45 Zulu that was transmitting "SW" in Morse. The mode was AM.
Any ideas? Is it a beacon? Thanks in Advance.

It is most likely an aeronautical Non Directional Beacon.

These are found between 200 KHz up to about 450 KHz in many countries.

Yeah, that band is for non-directional beacons (NDBs) for aircraft
navigation. My list is old, but I show an "SWU" in Idaho Falls, Idaho on
350 kHz
