[ARC5] YE-YG/ZB

[Leslie Smith]

  Hello Ken,
  Mike Hanz may be able to help:   see  
  http://aafradio.org/docs/YE-ZB.pdf

  This is also interesting: 
  https://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/ref/RADEIGHTA/RADEIGHTA-18.html
  
  The article describes how to recognize a lost aircraft.
  "Before the pilot considers himself lost, however, he has certain aids
  which he may utilize. The most important of these are the YE/YG, YJ,
  and YM homing beacons.The first requires a radio receiver and a
  compass in the plane, the latter two require air-borne radar."   I
  note the absence of "ZB" in the article
