I've been meaning to ask this and now that a friend has posed the same
question, I'll ask for both of us.  In the LW band, down below 530 KHz.,
there are a lot of CW transmissions that I'm pretty sure are airport
beacons.  Sometimes, you hear three-character transmissions that are clearly
location (airport, I assume) identifiers; other times you hear "le" or "ri"
(I think it's "ri") that I assume are the "left" and "right" beacons for
instrument landing approach.  Is there a list anywhere of the location codes
for these beacons?  Thanks and happy holidays to all.
