Another reason I am sure my reception on MW AM broadcast band was a ship or traffic station, I was well accustomed to the 'sound' of NPG/NLK.
They sent fast 20+ WPM and never stopped except to ID, "VVV VVV VVV DE NPG/NLK" and it was very apparent it didn't pause for any answer.
>I recall while passing through Chatham MA on Cape Cod one winter night in 1996, hearing the VVVs of coastal station WCC, apparently a second harmonic from its LF transmitter operating in the vicinity of 440 kHz, beating against the 880 kHz carrier frequency. of WCBS from NYC, which I was listening to on the car radio. The WCC LF transmitter and its single tower antenna was located very close to the beach in South Chatham. It was the last time I ever heard WCC, which went dark not long afterwards.
