I remember when I joined BA in the late 80's, we used to fly up to Bergen and Stavanger and I heard tales of the Stavanger Consol beacon, which would be tuned in for nostalgic reasons.. I remember listening in to the series of dots and dashes, but never learned how to interpret them, so thanks for that.

IIRC the station was still there until at least 1992 or 93, it may still be, I think I recall seeing the large aerial arrays required just south of Stavanger airport.

Looking at a 2001 Aread European Supplement, it gives Stavanger (Varhaug) NDB 'NEC' on freq 319 with A1A coding - is/was that correct?
