"Peter" wrote Many ship harbors with narrow dredged channels have even more basic "navigational ranges" that consist of two towers positioned on a straight line in the direction of the channel. The taller tower is located behind the shorter one and the ship's captain can follow the correct course into the harbor by keeping the two towers lined up. If the shorter one seems to drift to starboard he knows he needs to steer that way until they're back in line. True, but what does that fact have to do with VOR? -- Jim in NC
