[Milsurplus] 75 MHz Aeronautical Marker Beacons

[Sheldon Daitch]

Dick,

thanks for the excellent discussion on the old Adcock ranges.

On that same line, are you aware of any archives that might 
have locations of the old Adcock system transmitters?  I
recall something from my childhood, about some towers south of
the Augusta, GA area, and I was told they are part of some
aircraft navigation system.  That would have been in the 
mid to late 1950s, but I've never found anything to tell me
what might have really been in that area.

Thanks again,

73
