[ARC5] Non Directional Beacons

[Robert Eleazer]

I understand that while here in the US NDB use MCW Morse Code signals for ID, that in at least some foreign countries the NDBs use CW.  As a result, many ADF's and other aircraft receivers used to receive NDB's, even civilian models, have BFO's.

I'm going to have to hook up the ARN-89 I acquired and see how it works.  It covers from LF up to 3MHZ.  I don't have the bearing indicator but have both the directional and nondirectional antennas.

Anyone ever try using the 160 - 190 KHZ band for unlicensed operation?  >From what I recall, you can use up to 1 watt ERP.  I'm sure a BC-453 can be adjusted down that low but some European car radios have LW coverage down to about 150 KHZ.
