[MICHAEL BITTNER]

Hue, Regarding size, the LF Beacon transmitter at the Compton, CA airport where I used to hangar my plane, could fit in a Post Office large flat rate box. It was screwed to the outside wall of a hangar and its antenna was just a wire stretched across the taxiway between two hangars.  Call: CPM, Freq: 378 kHz. Sadly, off the air now. Mike, W6MAB
