Not sure what other beacons are still on-the-air, but MP on 185.301 kHz
and EAR on 188.83 kHz with QRSS-30 transmissions are doing fine, at
least to NE IL. Propagation is pretty poor - on nights when little
lightning activity is present the number of NDBs copied is way down from
winter-time. Nonetheless signals are still there from some 25W beacons,
even out to 1000 miles, and QRO stations like DDP in Puerto Rico still
come in fine (so does Navtex transmitter NMR in San Juan) .
