Hello, Georg. I always look for your reports, and enjoy seeing your adventures. Your two radio things are:
- a TV/radio (FM) transmitting tower;
- a VHF Omni-Directional Radio Range (VOR) aircraft radio navigation aid.
"VHF Omni Directional Radio Range (VOR) is a type of short-range radio navigation system for aircraft, enabling aircraft with a receiving unit to determine their position and stay on course by receiving radio signals transmitted by a network of fixed ground radio beacons. It uses frequencies in the very high frequency (VHF) band from 108 to 117.95 MHz. Developed in the United States beginning in 1937 and deployed by 1946, VOR is the standard air navigational system in the world..." 1PE (Canberra) (talk) 19:45, 18 May 2015 (EDT)
