[HCDX]: "X-Band" NDBs

[MichaelOexner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi all,


going through my NDB references I noticed that the following South American
"X-Band" NDBs are listed as active:

BJO-1600,0-Bermejo-BOL-S22.4554-W64.1836
LGM-1602,0-Leguizamo-CLM-S00.1100-W74.4800

XPC-1734,0-civ-Chapeco-B-S27.0754-W52.3900

I was able to log MER-1685 in March of 1997, and CRJ-1700 was received at
Wilhelm Herbst's beverage park in Northern Denmark. It would be nice if you
could let me know what you folks are able to hear. MER-1685 is not listed
in recent official documents anymore. Most of these NDBs are *not* on a 24
hour schedule.
