CONSOL worked great when leaving the Ekofisk headed back to Teeside....put the tail of the needle on the bottom of the dial...and off you went. Was it Stavanger where that station was? I forget now....but it was very helpful when getting going in the murk.
That's ruddy cheating! When you use Consol you are supposed to count the dots to find your bearing from the station. Just because the Germans made it powerful enough to be picked up in mid Atlantic doesn't mean use you can use it like an NDB.
delta 3 Bushmills, the Consol station built by the British to fill a gap in the Atlantic coverage was eventually blown up by the IRA as a military target during the troubles.
