Re: [HCDX] LW Morse Code transmissions

[Paul Crankshaw <paul@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are in the non-directional beacons (NDB) band. Mainly low power 
airport beacons plus a few marine beacons. Here in W Scotland I 
regularly hear Canadian airport beacons, along with DDP-391  San Juan 
International Airport, Puerto Rico.

The band runs from around 220 kHz (in amongst all the broadcasters) up 
to around 520  kHZ.

OF (carrier frequency is 325 kHz with the OF offset +/- 400 Hz) is Filton.
