We thought Omega to be the bee's knees when flying single pilot offshore across the Timor Sea from Derby to just off Timor-Leste. 2nm accuracy was much better than ADF and a map!

Although when we operated from Exmouth, the proximity of the USN VLF tower required a 65dB filter in the antennae line to allow other signals to come through and give us a usable Omega readout
