Good instrument practice for the beginner, you wouldn't have far to fall out the bottom :-)
Maybe yes ... maybe no ...
I did hear a story (no names, naturally, to protect the guilty ... )
CPL student ... ADF .. but negligible knowledge of same at that time .... turned volume down, didn't we ? (missed the click as the set turned off) ... came station passage ETA ... bit further, maybe ? ... eventually thought to check the ident again ... whoops ..... round we go ... lesson learnt about ident monitoring.
Long time ago .. so, probably (hopefully), a Statute of Limitations applies ...
