Hi Kurt

And NDB has a carrier and one or two sidebands.   I believe the mode
designation is A2A.

I was thinking about this topic last night as I went to sleep and realized
that I was concerned about the consequences of a mis-aligned NDB in private
hands.   Duh.   You don't align an NDB;  it's omni-directional.   Also, I
believe there are (or were) active NDB that were privately maintained.    I
had to reconsider Bob W9RANs initial post, and I think it's more reasonable
that I first believed.
