[Milsurplus] Is it a beacon, is it a range....

[Unserviceable but Repairable]

I'm pretty sure the Back-and-forth antenna system switching to make As 
and Ns won't affect an ADF.  It certainly won't affect a DF loop deal (no 
sense antenna)

So range stations could have been used as homing beacons (NDBs) just as
well as BC stations or anything 'down there' in the right freq. range
& known location.

Does this shed any light or dark?
