I might be off base here because I'm not an aviator, but telling pilots that
NDB's can help you find airports in bad weather and then slipping in a few
here and there on top of tall towers seems like a classic gummint bad idea..

============================================================
"Occasionally, NDBs are used to mark obstructions; I remember being rather
surprised to find that an NDB used to be (maybe still is) attached to a
very tall TV tower in the Dallas area, simply to mark it's location and warn
aircraft
off of a potential collision hazard. Information on the NDB in this case is
clearly marked on the sectional navigation charts that pilots use."
