I’m coming into this discussion late, but MJ on 209 kHz is an NDB near Manchester, NH, about 25 miles to my northwest (a few years back I site visited it and wrote up a little piece with photos for LWCA’s The Lowdown). MJ’s CW ID sidebands are +/- 1.020 kHz. It’s fairly low power (25 watts?) so I doubt it makes it to Texas. But on a really good night I can also hear MT, a more powerful NDB up in Chibougamau, Quebec, right on top of MJ on 209 kHz. The 2 carriers are indistinguishable but MT’s CW sidebands are Canadian style at +/- 0.4 kHz, so I can simultaneously hear both MJ and MT CW identifiers at different audio frequencies. I don’t know if this Chibougamau NDB would make it to Texas, but some nights it’s pretty strong here so quite possibly. Anyway, good luck!
