Default VOR Station without Compass Rose

Hello,

Does anybody know where I could find more info. on a VOR station
without a Compass Rose around it? What I heard is that it is a VOR
station with the service volume of Terminal. Any FAA references would
be appreciated.

Thanks.


There are 3 classes of VOR, Terminal (T), Low Altitude (L), and High
Altitude (H).

Ranges

T

25 nm 1,000 - 12,000 ft

L

40 nm 1,000 - 18,000 ft

H

10 nm 1,000 - 14,500 ft
100 nm 14,500 - 60,000 ft
130 nm 18,000 - 45,000 ft

A T VOR is usually (always?) on an airport and I've never seen one on a
chart that has a compass rose, which would be basically useless anyway
because of the limited range.
