[160m] Beacon List?

Now that I think about it...that may be a harmonic or mix from one of the
old LF aircraft navigation beacons.  Most of those have three letter
identifiers and there are still many that are operational.  If you tune down
below the AM broadcast band, you'll hear them.

Hi Dave! I am in extreem west central Wisconsin. Almost in the center of the
lower 48. If it's a fishing buoy, it must be on the great lakes or it's got
a great antenna :>).  A local group has a net every Wednesday at 19:30 CST
and I've been hearing it every week since before Thanksgiving.  I thought it
must NOT be an amateur beacon since it never IDs. Just HEI over and over...
