[ARC5] NDB IDs

[Dennis Monticelli]

Yes, MOG is here in California.  After I restored my BC-453-B several
years ago I started logging beacons with it using the 160M wire.
Being in an urban location on a city lot I usually had to wait until
the neighbors were in bed to DX the NDB's.  I have logged almost 100
different ones from as far away as Puerto Rico and Hawaii as well as a
Siberian AM broadcast station on this completely stock receiver.  Once
I took it into the mountains to escape the city noise.  With 12V
batteries for the filaments and a short stack of 9V (60V worth) it is
more portable than one thinks.
