For me it was about  a dozen years later, and many of the systems you  
mention I don't remember at all.

I flew out of Quonset Point, RI from about '67 to '71. We'd be out  
over the horizon to the south. TUK from Nantucket was the way home  
from on station, then we'd tune in the beacon at Naraganset light  
house, or a BC station in Providence.  No doubt Quonset Point had an  
NDB, too.
