While we're all enjoying a NOTAM kicking fest, can anyone explain to me what it means when I read repeatedly in my NOTAMS that "the ILS LLZR for R/W xxx is unusable outside 25 degrees"? My question is: how in the hell do you use an ILS LLZR 24 - or even 10 - degrees off QDM? I'm obviously missing something and am sure I'll be put straight by someone within five minutes of posting.
Have to agree with the HF comment. How many damned communication satellites are circling this Godforsaken planet? Surely enough to provide VHF or datalink coverage over areas now (NOT!) "covered" by HF.
