The only US mainland NDB that I know has been heard (in the UK) is CLB-216 Carolina Beach NC. They are using about the same power and antenna system (vertical) as DDP-391 (cf. below). NDBs from Canada are "easier" catches in Europe (relatively speaking). Please have a look at the following URLs to see what has been heard in Europe: http://www.zen.co.uk/home/page/alan.gale/aoa.zip http://members.aol.com/aibold21/ndbz.zip http://members.xoom.com/MarkWA1ION/mo9910es.pdf The exact coordinates of GLS are N29020'02.249" and W94045'22.401" according to FAA information. I just received a QSL from DDP (Puerto Rico, heard from Andalusia/Spain) on 391 kHz. Let me quote from their letter concerning the antenna system: The equipment is a Nautel transmitter running 3000 watts into a 300-ft. guyed steel antenna tower. The antenna has a ground radial system consisting of 120 bare copper conductors, No. 6 AWG, spaced at 3-degree intervals. Each radial is 598 feet long. [end of quote] I've heard this NDB on several occasions (December 1987 from Hillsboro in Oregon/USA, February 1988 from Kauai each evening I tried, and now in October 1999 from Andalusia). vy 73 + gd DX, Michael RX: ICOM R71A, Sony ICF-SW7600G, W&G SPM-3 Antenna: Radio West 22.5" ferrite loop with amplifier, Wellbrook ALA 100, 20m longwire Location: Roschbach, Germany N 49015' E 8007' Member: CSDXC, DSWCI, EUNL, LWCA, MWC Editor of "The European NDB Handbook" e-mail: michael.oexner@spksuew.ron.de ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
