The article, on page 24, describes how GLS, a 2 kilowatt aero-beacon installed in Galveston Texas, is being heard on 206 KHz in ZL-land. Galveston is located on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Several amateurs, amongst whom ZL1PW, ZL4OL and ZL3VN, have logged the Galveston beacon. Distance from Galveston to Wellington is about 12,100 kilometers (Hearty congratulations to our New Zealand colleagues for their work) 73 Andre' N4ICK
