Dear Brian,

Laurence is KL1X in Alaska - currently I think he has the distance record 
for reception of UK 136kHz stations.
DCF39 is a tele-switching station in Germany which transmits a carrier on 
138.83kHz, interspersed with FSK data bursts. It has about 40kW ERP, so is 
a convenient beacon for DX stations, although not so much if you are a DL 
station! There is extensive info on DK8KW's web pages at 
http://www.qru.de/dcf39-beacon.html
Cheers, Jim Moritz
