Thanks Spitoon. Yes we use the one east/one west all the time for Special VFR's

Yes Chilli that is exactly what i'm looking for. Check PM.

Doc 4444 (ICAO - Air Traffic Management) 5.4.1.2.1.2.1 states:
When aircraft are operating on tracks which are separated by considerbly more than the foregoing minimum figures, States may reduce the distance at which lateral separation is achieved.

I know they are dont come under ICAO but I believe in the US that NDB separation is right down to 6nm if the tracks are 90 degrees apart rather that 15nm and 30 degrees. This or similiar apply to anyone else?
