New Look.......

Chinook240
Good point about the VOR , just assumed it would have good range over water...........so I checked , the VOR antenna is 600 feet asl......so it has
line of sight to an object in/on the water at 30.24NM and an a/c at 300' has line of sight up to 51.3NM before the curvature of the earth gets in the way........how it would behave in practice probably depends on all sorts of things.....but I think it should have worked....
rgds..
