The NDB station transmits its radio signals in the L/MF frequency band (300 - 3000 KHz). These frequencies have the ability to follow the curvature of the earth thereby enabling reception (and thus navigation) beyond the horizon.
Low or medium frequency. A frequency range between 190-535 kHz with the medium frequency above 300 kHz. Generally associated with nondirectional beacons transmitting a continuous carrier with either a 400 or 1,020 Hz modulation.
