There's a beaping carrier on 530. My friend can hear it in macomb, il  said it's beeping LYQ. Anyone know what this is?

A beacon on 529kHz in Tennessee.

And that "BEEPING" you hear is Morse Code!

where is it coming from?

Google LYQ 529 and you should get some answers... somewhere in Middle Tennessee.

How much power do these stations usually run?  I'm 110 miles away and can hear it in the daytime.  At night it really messes up "EZ-530" from Cuba.

The beacon near me runs 25 Watts here in the Midwest plains.

I've heard it in southeast Iowa and it's been a regular visitor here in Ottawa the past few weeks, creating a het on CIAO 530.

I'm just 54 miles from this beacon...so it's strong day and night.  I went to the webpage associated
with it ( www.wwrb.org ), and understand they have a large religious SW operation (and belive the world is out to shut down all religious radio).
Can someone explain the purpose of their beacon on 529?  Do they have an airport on site?

Yes, they have an airport for their missionary aircraft:

I heard it, I heard it, I heard it,,, Its 10:05 Indiana time, and im located just south of Indianapolis,  I clearly heard the Beep Beep Beep, very clearly on AM 530,, It seemed to have a series of a couple pf beeps, then a pause, and then starts beeping again...  Being Closer to Tennessee than the other posters I figured I could hear it pretty well here at night,,, underneath the beeping was spanish talk, it may have been the Cuban station,  I can tell you that the spanish talkers on 530 sounded kinda angry and cold and not friendly or warm at all, so it may have very well been Cuba.. Is this 530 Cuba station in Havanna?  Or even farther away, even if it was farther, it still would be closer than KOA and it booms in here every night, I wish I would have caught this thread and checked out that 529 beacon last night cause I was getting very strong TENN singnals last night.  WSM was booming in like local even with the car running and the heater on it put hardly any static in it, but WSM is noisy tonight... That is weird, cause certain stations like WSM 650 and also 820 in Dallas used to come is clear as a bell at night in Indiana,, Now sometimes I cant even get WLS 150 miles away day or night, and can barely get 840 WHAS and 700 WLW both only 100 miles away, but yet if I go out to the middle of Kansas, all those stations boom in........... WEIRD Propogation.
