Topband: 160m Fishing Beacons

[Petr Ourednik]

Hi Nick and Ray,

see my article which I posted longer time ago on my TB blog about the
FNB or DNF...

http://topband.blog.cz/0810/drift-nets-fishing-beacons

Also the beacon list is updated including the FNB/DNF.

I am trying to complete the list of beacons for long time ago and I
tried it
also for fishnets including history...
