QSLing a navigation aid is done, but from what I understand tends to be
unpredictable. The first step is finding an address for whoever is
responsible for the facility. Then send a report and hope. Some folks do,
some don't.

It is probably similar to QSLing airliners or military aircraft - sometimes
it works; but odds are against it.

I've never tried either but I know of people who have had some success and
even some folks who have been the operator and responded. But it really is a
gamble.

Can't be no worse than the 100s of other unanswerd reports we've all sent
over the years. :)
