VOR and reverse sensing

No, with one exception, it does not tell you your position. That

exception is when you overfly the antenna. Then, you may presume the

is some altitude dependent radius from the nadir. Otherwise, the only
thing
the VOR will tell you is BEARING from the station.

How is that not "position"? Granted, it's not a very accurate description
of one's position, but it certainly describes one's position to an extent.

Given that the word "position" is simply being used to contrast with
heading, course, and other related terms, your objection seems pretty silly
to me.
