Actually all transmissions from navigational beacons aren't just in CW.
There's an airport based nav unit in Habbersham County GA, about twenty
miles from me here in Toccoa Ga, broadcasting on 0.347.50 KC, which along
with its' cw identifier gives continuous barometric pressure readings in
computer voice, 24-7, and I've heard some other CW beacons with voiced wx
information, although not nearly so many as used to be on that band.
