In Memory of 521 INE there is a super MedFER on 521.48...

We sure miss the NDB "INE" from near Missoula, MT that many of first heard as early as the late 70s on a car rx., but it is gone now, but a 'super-medfer' with ident "R" (5.1 sec. ident cycle) is going from the Mojave on 521.48 kHz with 33-35 watts-input to the IRF-540N p.a. and it is being hrd. via SDRs in ID, MT etc.  dusk to dawn from deep in the Mojave desert... (where else?) this is also a tribute to the big "A" super-hifer on 2097.3...

Happy DXing... MB

Yeah as A kid I would go to my Dad's AM/FM radio on the  driveway and DX the AM band but mused at the "eerie" beeping on the left end of the dial.  In recent years, INE was downgraded because it got moved 1/2 mile from a good open, low-e-field attenuation place in a big meadow to a thickly-treed hilltop and so it lost a lot of ERP compared to its 400 watt glory days.  Hey just gotta fill in all of those emptying NDB freqs.   Get part-5 lic maybe?  PLC DXing anyone?
