[Lowfer] Pse help on NDB FZ-220 Fulton NY

Wed, 6 Aug 2003 21:18:07 -0400

Michael.

This is to confirm that NDB FZ at the Fulton/Oswego County Airport is on
the frequency of 220 khz and uses 400 Hz modulation. My good friend and
fellow LOWFER/SWL K2JDD and myself both heard that beacon when it was in
test mode before being assigned "FZ" and have listened to it many many
times since. Jack is about 35 miles from it and I am about 42 miles from it
and have visited the transmitter site. (Outside the fence that is).

Hope this helps out.
