Hello friends If anyone possesses a "callbook" for beacons...I heard TVX just below the AM BCB ..been hearing it for years...wonder where it is Thanks 73 Greg You possess a callbook. It's called Google. For questions like this in future, may I respectfully request you add some useful information, like where in the world are you? And what frequency are you hearing this beacon? It helps narrow down the list a lot as the callsigns are frequently re-used. http://worldaerodata.com/wad.cgi?nav...TVX&nav_type=5 Brad. |

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.
