I was tuning around below 160M for signals with which to test my
Beverages, and at around 0130Z found a signal at 1.640 MHz that gave departure
gates for flights to many cities around the US. I believe I heard them
identify themselves as being for Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) airport, and it
definately was strongest on my Southwest Beverage. Can someone confirm this?

I heard a similar station on 1.680 MHz.

Does anyone know a source for information on stations above 1.600 MHz?
There seem to be a number of AM stations (including broadcast stations?)
in this range, judging by the signals heard tonight. I have the National Radio
Club's AM Station Map Book for stations below 1.600 MHz, but nothing for
stations above.

Something on the Web would be wonderful!
