[IRCA] LW Beacon Loggings

[<n5wbi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Logged the following NDB beacons while on a family
trip to NW Louisiana.  All were heard on 28 Dec 2004
using a Radio Shack DX-399:

206  GLS  Galveston, TX (2000 watts)
230  SH   Shreveport, LA (400 watts)
272  MMY  Many, LA (25 watts)
284  VIV  Vivian, LA (25 watts)
332  RPF  Carthage, TX (25 watts)
375  SPH  Springhill, LA (25 watts)
407  IE   Campti (Natchitoches), LA (25 watts)
414  MSD  Mansfield, LA (25 watts)

The wattages were obtained from the "NavAids" website -

The data for "SH" was obtained from Rocker's page -

I knew SH was on 230 kHz because I grew up in Bossier
City, LA.  My high school physics teacher had a Bendix
MN26-C (I think that was the model) on his desk that he
let us listen to before and after school.  That was back
in 1970.

73 and GOOD DX,

hear!" - Fred Osterman, Universal Radio
