Longwave Band

The 150–519 kHz range is known as the longwave band. Most stations in this range serve as beacons for aircraft and marine navigation by continuously transmitting their call letters. Recep- tion for this range is best between 6:00 PM and midnight (your time).

Some ships also use this range, with 500 kHz set aside as an international distress and emergency station.

Most stations in this range use CW (Morse code), although some use AM voice transmission for weather broad- casts.
