With a good longwire antenna, I am able to receive quite a few of navigation beacons on the longwave band. But also, you can listen for dx broadcast stations on that band , if you have a good antenna. Here is some information I received from Brian (BDM) on longwave broadcasting from ITU region 1.

The propagation on this band is particularly good for dx-ing this time of year (winter) during the nighttime hours.
