Canadian military airport CYSD radio beacon, transmits "Y S D" in Morse code followed by a tone burst.  Similar format to a NDB or VOR type station.  No tone (does not have the usual 150 Hz tone squelch that military FM systems usually have - that usually decodes as 151.4 Hz instead of 150.0 Hz). 

It's FM, but comes in great in AM mode as well since its just modulated CW.  I believe its a 1000Hz tone, but I could be wrong.

I haven't heard it in many many months.  36.600 MHz is the frequency.  Strong FM deviation.  36.6MHz CYSD beacon YSD beacon 36600.0 kHz FM
