Furthermore, they may not coincide with those reported by other lists.

Considering that many TXs are home-built set tube-based  and therefore slightly variable in frequency, I report the frequency detected by me only in cases where it involves a shift of 2 - 4 KHz or more. My very basic old style receiving station is located at: #0 JN44jt Low Piedmont, Italy at 170m/558ft asl. Alternative locations: #1  JN65de " The Bungalow One" Isola Verde (VE) at sea level, 260m/853ft from the sea shore. End of May & September only. Outdoor/Indoor listening. HAM 10m beacon /NDB #2  JN44mt Picnic area of Astronomic Observatory Brignano Frascata (AL) 392m/1.2...
