I tried to tune the Zurich beacon on 265 kilocycles, but instead of getting it kept getting a station in Northern Ireland. The many other beacons around Zurich did not come in any better. In that case you hold the heading and wait. We flew closer with only ten minutes left to our ETA. The Zurich beacon attracted the needle of the ADF, but in an erratic manner with the needle pointing off to our right about thirty degrees and holding steady, and just when you begin to think about believing it, the needle jiggled to a point ahead and then to the left.

 

I found it very interesting.

Well at least one person did. There are many other neat articles on that site.

thanks VB it's a great read and a good link
