I actually started learning Morse code for the purpose of logging beacons, mainly NDB's! Overnight around here, I get tons of them on LW, mainly Quebecois and Ontarian signals, but quite a few locals as well. When I'm home, Monah "MS" in Madison blasts in, for good reason, and "UNU" out of Juneau and "RYV" in Watertown are pretty clear. Here, Kooky "AQ" out of Appleton can be loud, but isn't always. I've only managed one Iowan and one Michigan NDB each so far, and amazingly caught a Tennessee one on the extreme low end of MW one night in the recent past.
I would absolutely love to be able to catch a Euro or African broadcaster on LW, but haven't managed it yet. Much of what I hear as far as broadcast stations go are either harmonics or unintentional LW broadcasts of local stations. An-noy-ing!
