I'll add a comment following Bruce's excellent observations:
DME or Radar service can be substituted for a marker beacon on an ILS approach. An IFR GPS and certified installation can be substituted for a DME.
Do you have an audio panel? Many audio panels have a built in 3 light marker beacon receiver. While I do not believe that the marker beacon receiver is a requirement, I believe most of us would like to have it.
And if you do have or will have a three light marker beacon receiver...I challenge you to do what George Horn has done.
You know he has actually invested the time...and believe it or not....memorized the frequency for every airway, outer middle and inner marker beacon transmitter throughout the entire United States. The guy has a phenomenal memory!

Hey, Bruce! Isn't there a function in this software somewhere that a moderator can ban troublemakers?

Hey Bob don't worry. If George every finds such a button let me know and I'll reverse it. We need all the help we can get keeping George on his toes.
So he knows all the marker beacon frequencies does he. I'll have to remember that when he asks if there are any questions at the convention maintenance forum.

Just how many brain cells does it take to memorize ONE number?
