[IRCA] LYQ 529 Khz Beacon

["Tom Jasinski" <amdxer@xxxxxxxx>]

529 Khz  LYQ Beacon, Manchester, Tenn., 2/23, 06:00 to 06:15 CST.  Heard
well with new format.  Morse Code "LYQ" followed by male voice announcement
mentioning complete location, FAA ID, followed by local weather conditions
(Ceiling, Wind Speed, Wind Direction and altimeter reading) but no data
follows. The announcement mentions "Missing" after each catagory.  Taped
loop lasting about 24 seconds.    Are they still testing this format?  Heard
with near perfect copy, suspect either very good DX conditions yesterday
morning or they have raised power levels?  Previous format was Morse Code
with a pause repeated about every 8 seconds.  As usual you need careful
tuning due to close proximity with several stations on 530Khz.  Appears to
be best before sunrise here in midwest.
