Really pleased with this QSL for my reception of NDB LU-430 in Batumi, Georgia, 2986 kilometers from my QTH. The only two beacons with a greater distance in SE direction are NDB Mukhrani (which was also confirmed with this QSL) and NDB ARB Arbadil from Iran. And it is only my 2nd QSL from Georgia since I received one for my reception of Voice of Hope from Tbilisi in 1997.
Wolf, DE2WHG, was so kind to provide me with a QSL address that worked. And Mr. Giorgi Meladze from Sakaeronavigatsia was so kind to confirm my reception report within a day:
Alexander Kartveli Batumi International Airport is one of three international airports in Georgia, located close to Batumi on the Black Sea. The airport is named after Alexander Kartveli, an aeronautical engineer and aviation pioneer.
The beacon is located at the end of the runway according to the excellent website OurAirports. Using Google Maps streetview I saw a little red and white container at the location which reminded me of the beacons used in Czechia (see my previous post).
