Sound sample	PLAY SOUND This is WP, WP, WP, the navigation beacon at Schiphol airport, transmitting at 376kHz. If you would have the optional DirectionFinder, a directional antenna, you could position yourself on a map of the sea by making a measurement on two of these beacons.

This Object

I haven't tried the transmitter. The receiver works, but isn't sensitive enough, and the BFO doesn't work.
