As you can tell from CO's icon, CO is an avgeek. Since February 2020, CO decided to place caches near radio navigation aids in Hong Kong. You are now standing right next to the TUNG LUNG DVOR/DME, which is one of the four VOR stations in Hong Kong.
If you want to learn more about VOR and DME, please visit the following websites.

- https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/systems/understanding-dme-on-instrument-approaches/
You can also play around with the VOR simulator provided by luizmonteiro (http://www.luizmonteiro.com/Learning_VOR_Sim.aspx).
~~~ Congratulations to kcyan for FTF this cache. ~~~
