Aren't TACANs typically co-located with VORs?
stepwilk,

Typically (at least in the US), yes, but not all VORs are also TACANS. In your neck of the woods, the closest VOR/DME (TACAN sets can receive the DME range but no azimuth) is KINGSTON and the closest VORTAC is SPARTA (Azimuth and range for both VOR and TACAN receivers).

Stand-alone TACAN beacons are quite common at military airfields in the UK. In this case a civil aircraft can receive the DME range information only.
