I QSLed the VE7BDQ beacon a couple of years ago, except he was using
the call VX9BDQ on 504.1 kHz. At that time, he was running 100 watts
into an inverted L but didn't give the dimensions. He told me he'd also
gotten listener reports from Alaska, Hawaii and Texas, so the beacon is
a potential catch in sufficiently quiet locations.

I wonder what kind of antennas they're using. A quarter wavelength on 470 kHz
(my wavelength conversion spreadsheet is in MHz and won't do three decimal
places) is 523.23 feet.

Long Wave band! Cool! Thanks for tip.
