        Others have already provided an excellent range of answers, so I
just had to jump in with a nitpick. :-) I speak both as a former pilot
and as a long-time hamateur.

        The phrase "NDB Beacons" is redundant. 'NDB' in this context means
'Non-Directional Beacon,' so the correct presentation of the term would
have been "NDB's" or "ND Beacons."
