[Milsurplus] [ARC5] RBA-1 It's alive!

[David Olean]

I have two aircraft receivers that pick up long wave and I have listened 
to plenty of NDBs. I should make a list. Logging them sure is fun. I 
know I could hear a big station in the Caribbean. I think it was on Swan 
Island. The problem I have is the passband of the receivers is a bit 
wide, so ID'ing stations can be time consuming when looking them up on a 
frequency list. I can easily be off by several kHz.  Do you hear any EU 
and middle east long wave BC stations? I can hear some of them in the 
evening.
