Pete I called contact back and "buncher beacom" IS the right term.  That
was my bad, not his.

Would it be right to guess these ran in the 2-500kc band & the SCR-269
adf would then be employed for line-up.  Like today's (disappearing)
NDBs

There's was a vy good pilot's description of system at

    http://www.dfcsociety-nw.org/Member%20Stories/Member%20Stories/briefing%20at%20three.htm

If viewed from the side you'd see a zig-zag pattern of acft all climbing
at 300fpm while criss-crossing the buncher beacon - which was called
"buncher 12" in the account... and it just had to be a simple NDB.
