Default How wide is an NDB approach course?

Yes, that is why I mentioned majors. A friend of mine who flew with the
old North Central flew ADF approaches all the time. Then again, it was
in flat country.

You're right, the old Frontier had a lot of mountains without the dual
beacon setup in Eastern Europe.
