\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On a “marine band” radio, these were radios that used to cover roughly from 1.6 Mhz to 3.6 Mhz, you could receive a sound around 1.8 Mhz that was the sound of the arrival of radio pulses from various Loran Navigation system transmitters.\u00a0 It was a fairly broadband signal with a distinctive sound that selective fading would do weird things to.<\/span><\/p>\n
