well Larry wd0 akx and first of all I want to thank all of you for watching my videos I probably don't say this enough in my videos but I know who many of you are and I appreciate you watching the videos and I know it's kind of a niche group of people here that enjoy the type of subjects that I cover and if you don't enjoy it obviously you're probably not watching or click off and that's fine so anyhow I just want to thank you and that's what kind of keeps me motivated and I keep I've got a ton of subjects I'd like to cover in the future so we'll keep going usually it's something to do with radio sometimes I get off the subject a little bit and cover something else of interest but thanks for watching now in this video I'm going to cover some vintage radios from the 60s and 70s some aircraft in marine type radio direction-finding receivers your workhorse radio back in the day nowadays well they don't quite stand up to my ICF 2010 Sony radio here this will pick a lot more signals out of the weeds than these vintage radios will this is much more sensitive and more selective especially but I decided to take couple these vintage radios outdoors in the evening here near sunset and just kind of put them to the test see what I could receive on them I'm not intending on showing how these radios work but we're just going to kind of tune across the frequencies and see what we can hear and we're listening for non-directional beacons stations designed for aircraft and marine these are marine type radios but mostly in the area here I'm on land there's a lot of beacons for aircraft the band is basically from about 190 kilohertz to about 535 kilohertz this is right below the AM broadcast band so behaves similar to the AM broadcast band evening signals pick up and if you're not familiar with these type of beacon stations I'll leave a few links in the video description below for you and another good source of information is the spectrum monitor a digital magazine every month Kevin Kerry has a great column in there called the long wave zone so check it out if you'd like to try copying any of these beacons from home if you have a receiver that will cover these frequencies and you don't know Morse code don't worry you can just write down the dots and dashes and decode them later on a Morse code chart because they repeat the same two or three letters over and over again so it's pretty easy to do so let's check out this video from last night here so I have three vintage radios set up on the table here we're going to give a try when it gets closer to sunset here first two radios you see the mera...
