Dave, ZL3FJ, had reported that this NDB beacon on 206 kHz has been heard in New Zealand and Australia. Michael, the editor of "The European NDB Handbook" gave me the exact location and with my handheld GPS system I was able to find it easily. I have put a short report and a photo I took onto my homepage (http://www.qru.de/galveston.htm, or go to the main index page http:/www.qru.de and follow the link). Best 73 Geri, DK8KW (W1KW)
