Hello Lowfers,
as I wanted to see how our commercial collegues handle their antennas, I
used the opportunity during my US-trip to go to Galveston near Houston/TX.
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).
