Model 116 feq range
#4

As Ed stated, it's a hot band at night, especially late at night. The winter months are the best with the lower noise. The lower portion is full of European & African broadcast stations. I can usually pick up Med-1 Morocco late at night very strong. Along with a few others. This is on any one of my Philco's with LW, using a 150' long wire antenna. DXing the NDB(aviation beacons) is a big past time. If you watch the NDB cluster, they are reports for beacons well over 1K miles at night. BTW, I suggest you install a good ground system for noise. This band needs all the help it can get with these old sets since they lack any serious noise filters.
