If you fancy a bit of LF DXing, these frequencies might be worth a try. They are non-directional beacons and are used by aircraft. I searched high and low until I found this list, so thought I would share it. Some may now be off the air.
I can hear my local NWI (Norwich) beacon but that's it. They send their idents in fairly slow Morse code. Have a listen, especially at night
Hello
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to start listening out for NDB's.
What equipment (ie radio and antenna) do you need for this hobby.
Also are the beacons on am or fm.
Yours

Hi,
ReplyDeleteYou need a receiver capable of receiving AM in the band around 300-400kHz. A good communications receiver will work, or you can start out with something like the Degen DE1103, which are around £40 on Ebay. I have one and can hear the local beacon on it.
get a very strong one here in leicester UK permanently between 381Khz and 387Khz peaking at around 385Khz
