Châteauroux Deols NDB, CTX, August 3rd 2009

This beacon is to find at the north of the village of La Champenoise. On his way to the beacon Wim came while passing the village of Saint Aoustrille – just 6 km north of La Champenoise – along a big antenna park. Along the usual antenna he noticed several Alliss antenna; those are rotating short wave antenna. The antenna park he has seen is the Issoudun short wave station.
