Have a look at the chart legend.

However from memory -

If it is something like FL *

That is a flashing light.

If it is something like 123.45 *

Then that indicates that the frequency operates "less than continuous or on request".

Note the stars are slightly different so check the chart legend.

Regards,

DFC

Does it mean becon light at an airport ?

Maybe I didn't explain it right. If you look at map some airports have a star right above the airport. Star has an empty circle inside it.
If it's a flashing light like legend says then what is it ?
Airport becon ?
