[Elecraft] directional antenna

[MC Carpenter]

I forgot,  yes the beacons were in the range of 150 to 281, some went a 
little higher for example Jacksonville FL is 344,  its puts out a Minstrel 
power I think of two watts, with the letters "J"A" every few minutes, my 
directional radio was simple radio with a swivel antenna on top mounted on a 
compass rose.

another good example is North Binimi which signal has been famous for longer 
than I am old, its 396 kHz, with letters "Z"B"B"
