I flew for some months out of POM. It was "interesting". Most of the ground equipment, like VORs and NDBs, was unservisable most of the time. The locals dug up the cables to steal and then sell the copper almost immediately after they were replaced. So they stopped bothering replacing them. This is what the local pilots told me but this was about 10 years ago. Hopefully they have improved.
