B.H. Guess that was a Loooooooooooooooooooooong T! Most of the time Canadian beacons transmit a long dash after their ID (sometimes called DAID) as opposed to long silence as in the US beacons. QG carrier transmits on 353kHz with a tone of 400Hz that's why it appears to be near 353.5kHz. QG with a DAID sounds like QG long T. Listening to beacons can be a form of DX in itself. So far I have 489 beacons logged consisting of 30 US states, 46 Canadian, and a total of 17 countries. My furthest beacon is IPA, Isla de Pascua (Easter Island), Chile on 280kHz, 3,990 miles away. They have a 3kW transmitter so they are a rather easy copy. Most NDBs (non directional beacons) are under 25 watts of power. Don't get sucked into listening for NDBs or you will be up all night listening to, as my wife calls it, strange beep beeps. Al KA5JGV San Antonio, TX |

After 25 years in the hobby I just started paying attention to those little beeps. I've never messed around with LF and VLF etc.. until recently and I find it interesting also. -- 73 and good DXing.

Note that airnav doesn't include the ".51" in their database. For
instance, COR is at 205.51, but listed as 205 on airnav. Also not that many military beacons are not listed on either the FCC database or airnav. I have three examples, namely xsd 278Khz Tonopah Test Range, Nevada pyd 414kHz, Groom Lake, Nevada aec 209khz Basecamp, Nevada (a cool NDB with voice on it) |
