0 Guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) Well... I'm pretty sure it's a meteorological station, but I can't find it <_< that's not a meteorological station. it's a tac-an, a rotating radio beacon for aircraft, or a VORTAC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VORTAC Edited October 16, 2008 by Rich_Lather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 a broken vor - whats it broken vor? 1st Correct Answer, Well Done sorry for the spoiler. How about some more "identify this" pictures in the future? I used to do These Google Image Searches a while ago, decided to throw one in vor old times sake. ( did you get the clue? ) broken vor radio That also brings up the image, 2nd correct answer Use spoilers... and welcome to the Den!!! Well if it does pop up first in a Google image search... I'll live this to taliesin to wrap it up... I got you covered This is very much dependant on location, as Google Searches are dependant on location. But I think it is easy for your guys to Judge yourself. The Vortec suggestion was not far off, this is a Doppler VOR ( VHF Omnidirection Rand finding equiptment) . It is a Ground station used by Aircraft, which tell the direction to the Site. The site is a known location on the flight computer so a bearing is given. Think of it as a giant compass which points to the site. Well done all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
