We used to take our 2010s to the mountains to get away from city noise,
and one of the NDB references we used was the 750 watt "L" beacon
(302kc). It's now a 200 baud DGPS calibration source since around 1995
and no longer sends the callsign "L" which stood for Point Loma, CA.
One of the other tests we used in the mountains east of El Cajon was to
see how easily we could separate the co-channel signals of KCEO
Escondido from KOMO Seattle, both on 1MHz, using the built in ferrite
antennas.
