[ARC5] A-N Ranges

[Robert Eleazer]

I never personally encountered one of the critters, but I recall that when I was studying for my private pilot written exam circa 1975 we were told there was still one A-N Range operational in the USA, in Montana, I think.  Of course that could have been old data.

They have shut down the local COI NDB that was located a little over a mile away and served as a handy signal source for me.  At one time I think I could get 3 LF NDB's, including the one on Cape Canaveral AFS that had GPS data, but now I can't seem to receive a single one.

I have a early 70's Blaupunkt radio out of a VW Superbug that has a LF band covering 150 KHZ  to 280 KHZ or thereabouts as well as standard AM BCB.  I wonder if that is still done in Europe?
