Several people have mentioned Corsen as the likely location, however
there's a bearing posted on the NDB list from Dominique Kremp,
Normandy, France , (who's located at 48°03'31''N 01°26'14''W) of 0/180
degrees. The co-ordinates put Dominique's QTH as East of Rennes. From
this location Corsen would be roughly 270 degrees - so the bearing is
90 degrees out. However the Loran site at Lessay is almost due north of
Rennes and would agree with the reported bearing.
There are other bearings from G, EI and DL stations that point to that
corner of France, but Dominique's unique position might just be the
one that can pin-point it.
It might well be controlled by CROSS Corsen, but are we able to say the
TX is located at Corsen or Lessay, or elsewhere?
It's all conjecture, as there's not a lot we can do about it, the
Maritime service has control of this part of the spectrum and we have
to accept whatever QRM they throw at us.
