[600MRG] NDB...

[Brian, WA1ZMS]

That's great. Thanks.

Nice pix of the 70MHz outer/middle/inner marker yagis too.

 

I have some VERY old photos of an NDB in Vermont where I grew up that had a
rather odd diamond shaped

antenna. The bottom ends had cones over them for what I can only guess was
to prevent arcing when wet.

 

That site has long been moved to a new site with a typical mono-pole center
loaded, top hat antenna.

 

During the days of the old site, I first did DF on the 2nd harmonic in the
AM band when I got real close to the site.

That was fun.

I asked a FAA friend of mine for some photos of a Non-Directional Beacon
site next time he visited for maintenance.  I gathered the photos in a
Flickr set to share - if you're interested have a look.  The first image is
a description of the site...
