Funny about using AM radio stations as NDBs. That's why the CONELRAD
alert system was invented -- to thwart the evil enemies' navigation! Of
course, NDBs are going away but we still fund improvement to the
Emergency Alert System. So why can't they be used to log approaches?


Conelrad hasn't been around since the Kennedy administration.
The EBS (which was never voluntary despite what the stupid announcement
that we were forced to read over the air) replaced it. Rather than
people popping up on 640 or 1240.

Anyhow, I've had the ADF ripped out of my plane. I replaced it
with XM Satellite radio so I can still listen to baseball games
in flight.
