A number of them from GA through to RPT which is why l mentioned them - last one in Oz was into YPPD in a DC-9 although that was only the homing, we got visual before having to do the let-down.
Done some in the sim in more recent times for the fun of it.

The ADF needle also used to go to 9 o clock (or was it 3?)when you selected it to ANT.
It was great for increasing the range of the AM broadcast station.
Also a great gadget for finding the heart of the thunderstorm.

And twin locator ?
Story was there was an unapproved one at YPLC using the NDB at the field and the 5LN broadcast station at the town some 6 miles away that nicely lined up with RWY 01 - just hearsay of course !

Visual tracks from Perth and Forest, Aural from Norseman and Leonora or Laverton, it was 50 years ago.
Route Check stuff for DC-3 F/Os, I did 2 in the same year, not much flying on reserve those days.
