This beacon is to find at the north of the village of La Champenoise. On his way to the beacon Wim came while passing the village of Saint Aoustrille – just 6 km north of La Champenoise – along a big antenna park. Along the usual antenna he noticed several Alliss antenna; those are rotating short wave antenna. The antenna park he has seen is the Issoudun short wave station.

Route from BRG to CTX, ca 42 km – 45 min.
At BRG, you drive back to the N151 roundabout. At the roundabout you take the first exit direction Limoges/Châteauroux/Poitiers/Issoudun/Saint Florent-sur-Cher – Beware, speed controls over 10.2 km at this road. Go straight at one roundabout and drive on the N151 for 23.6 km. Take at the roundabout the 3rd exit to stay at the N151, direction Limoges/Lignières/Poitiers/La Chartre/Châteauroux/A20. Go straight over one roundabout. After 3.3 km you turn right onto the D8/Route de Levroux (signs for Levroux/D8/ Saint Aoustrille/Saint Valentin.) After ca 14 km, coming at La Champenoise, turn left onto a gravel road. After 150 metres take a left turn again onto the path to the beacon.
