At the LRS meeting on 22nd Feb 2023 LRS Treasurer Peter Dick GM4DTH talked about receiving MF D/F non-directional beacons from his QTH in Edinburgh and played many recordings of their CW IDs. There was an excellent attendance of 23.
Here are two photos of my portable receiver as used to receive the MF D/F beacons. It is located in the communal garden beside the flats where I live. The Rx is battery-powered and is located away from the extreme noise at my home. One photo shows the actual E-field probe mounted above a box carrying the matching electronics. Elevating the probe helps with the signal to noise ratio.

Peter’s talk is best followed by reading the text in the slides:
EDN is one of two beacons for Edinburgh Airport.
UW is the other beacon for Edinburgh Airport
Peter played short audio clips of the CW IDs of these beacons.
