| Geography |
Beautifully on a hilltop in the middle of grain and potato
fields, North of Brunssum in Limburg, near the German border. The dirt road
leading up to the beacon officially is closed for through traffic. |
| Remarks |
MAS shares its construction only with HSD, but adds a DME
antenna.
The climb path of Geilenkirchen AB across the border lies just
South of MAS. Planes doing right-hand circuits from Geilenkirchen circle the
beacon site. |
