Mike,

That first frequency in the radio beacon band, isn't it?  I do  
remember just a few air bases that could transmit voice on their NDB  
frequency (I was in Navy flight training in 1966/67), but I expect  
things had changed a LOT since the time you are talking about.

The situation you report is the early 1940's, right?  ah yes, I see  
you mention "in operation by 1944".

Thanks for your information.

Roy
