Title: "DDP" NDB 391 AM 017 UTC 3 Jan 2022
Post by: Erik Mattson on January 03, 2022, 0144 UTC: "DDP" NDB, San Juan, Puerto Rico on 391 kHz.

My first beacon catch that wasn't in the next state over. I'm looking at you, RNB (363 kHz, NJ).

Post by: ~SIGINT~ on January 09, 2022, 0151 UTC: Nice catch on DDP. I caught that one as well back in February 2021 and I had to position the loop antenna just right otherwise OO from Oshawa, ON CA will overpower it. It as well transmits on 391. If you can hear SB (Sudbury) you should definitly be able to pick-up OO.

Let me know if you can pick-up TZ - Gibraltar Point Toronto Island ON on 257 kHz. It is about 5 miles from my place.

Thanks, SIGINT.
No luck on "TZ" unfortunately. But I stuck it in my "Check Back Later" memory bank.

Post by: ~SIGINT~ on January 11, 2022, 0202 UTC: Don't feel bad about it. The darn thing is practically in my back yard and I can barely hear it as well. I'm too close to it.

Post by: Traveling Wave on January 12, 2022, 0141 UTC: No problem hearing "TZ" in my location just north of Buffalo, NY, but "OO" crushes anything on 391 for me.

Post by: ~SIGINT~ on January 12, 2022, 0158 UTC: OO is a power house for me as well which makes receiving the Montreal and Maritime regions difficult. I usually have to fiddle with the loop antenna to get the right peak. Luckily it is on a rotator.

Post by: Traveling Wave on January 12, 2022, 0341 UTC: BTW no problem hearing "SB" Sudbury on 362 or "RNB" Millville- Rainbow on 363 at my location.

Post by: pinto vortando on January 12, 2022, 2304 UTC: DDP booms in here when the propagation is right but it is an all or nothing affair.
Otherwise OO holds down the 391 spot (IIRC it runs less than 10 watts)... big signal for so little power.

No ... just messing with all of you. The beacon is located at the airport near the Ontario Regiment (military), Ontario Regiment museum and the Royal Canadian Air Force Association. But do take the time to read about Camp X. It was located about 5 miles south of the beacon. You will be surprised. Hummmm.
