I was scanning the local aviation radio frequencies, and came across an odd signal (listen to a recording here). It's at around 110.515MHz, and it seems strong within a 30 mile radius of Shropshire, UK (haven't tried tuning in further afield).

Not sure if it's relevant, but there are a couple of RAF bases nearby (RAF Shawbury and RAF Cosford).

I presume it's a navigation aid, but couldn't find anything listed on that frequency. I was hoping someone would recognise the sound and be able to tell me what equipment is transmitting it (e.g. NDB).

Cheers, Dave.

What is transmitting this radio signal @~110.515MHz and for what purpose?
