Indeed, Lonewolf - as I said way back, PansOps is too big and Terps too small. The advantage of PansOps is that there is more room for 'error' in positioning whereas as a few Terps circlers have discovered, go slightly outside the normal circuit distance and you hit a hill. We were expecting Terps to increase their cleared area, but I think it was Aterp who said earlier that they now decline to. I am at a loss to understand their logic.
On the topic of a 12 VOR, it could actually easily have been designed without DME using the 'old-fashioned' timed outbound leg - the hills are not THAT high. In any case, with 2 DMEs available at the airfield I cannot see a problem.
