KEFD (ellington field) has some DME arcs on its TERPS that are based on
an on-field TACAN. Once upon a time this was a VORTAC, but its been a
TACAN only for at least the past 5 years, prolly closer to 10.
the ILS 17R is one of em. The Govt charts list the TACAN/DME chan as
31.. by having the jepp charts, you can know the freq as 109.4 mhz.
I use the DME routinely just to know distance to the field in non-gps
planes.

If you look hard enough, you can find the occasional NDB-DME station.
I'm not aware of any stand-alone DME ground stations, but I can't
think of any reason why such a thing couldn't exist.
There are probably some TACAN only stations around somewhere, but I'm
not sure any civil procedures would use them.
