LONG WAVE INTERCEPTS
The Winter months always seem to provide great reception of non-directional beacons. The current season has been no exception. Random monitoring in morning and evening hours resulted in a nice list of beacons monitored here at my West Virginia site. These long wave navigational beacons are used primarily by general aviation (private planes). The ID is sent in slow Morse code.
