Have you ever wanted to know how aircraft navigated in 0ft
visibility before GPS? Have you ever wanted to know where on the
ground a Nav/aid was located? Here is your chance to log a find
of a Nav/Aid. I am also looking for intersections and or
reporting check points on the ground of Low and High altitude
Federal airways. Here is a source that might help you AirNav: Navaid Information
"Warning"
Some Nav/aids are on private land, atop of mountains, at
airports, on top of building, on Islands, Most have a fence
around tower. Use common sense, sometimes you can not get very
close to the nav/aid. You may use the published coords and or
your own, depending on the placement of the NAV/AID. I will
except any log that shows you and the NAV/AID in the forground
This is a locationless Geocache. Please post any nice bits of
info that you learn when you went out to look for the cache.
Rules:
- First words of your
log must be the type of "nav/aid", or
"Reporting check point" and ID
- Give the coords of
your cache find
- Post a picture of
you and the physical ground base nav/aid in the
back or foreground
- If it is a
Intersection or Reporting point, take a picture
of you and the general area with coords.
- One log per person,
each location can be logged only once.
- If you do not have
a camera and have a cache in mind post the
required info, you have one week to post a
picture or it will be up for grabs.

Have fun and good times.
