Hi Geri,
GLS-206 has not (yet) been logged by European NDB DXers. The only US mainland
NDB that I know has been heard (in the UK) is CLB-216 Carolina Beach NC. They
are using about the same power and antenna system (vertical) as DDP-391 (cf.
below). NDBs from Canada are "easier" catches in Europe (relatively
speaking).
Please have a look at the following URLs to see what has been heard in
Europe:

The exact coordinates of GLS are N29020'02.249" and W94045'22.401" according
to FAA information.
I just received a QSL from DDP (Puerto Rico, heard from Andalusia/Spain) on
391 kHz.
Let me quote from their letter concerning the antenna system: The equipment is
a Nautel transmitter running 3000 watts into a 300-ft. guyed steel antenna
tower. The antenna has a ground radial system consisting of 120 bare copper
conductors, No. 6 AWG, spaced at 3-degree intervals. Each radial is 598 feet
long. [end of quote]
I've heard this NDB on several occasions (December 1987 from Hillsboro in
Oregon/USA, February 1988 from Kauai each evening I tried, and now in October
1999 from Andalusia).
