After N6QX comments re 1SZ "beacon" I took a bit more interest in logging
the beacons last night and just realised how many there are out there.
Probably because Sri Lanka is surrounded by water and there are rich
pickings to be had!!

Frequency   Identification      Comments

                        (first heard around sunrise and
                         still audible 20 minutes after sunrise)
