The images on this page were kindly supplied by Dale, and show a number of the impressive NDBs that are operating in Alaska. Dale says the NDB at Kotzebue is the largest NDB he has ever seen, and this one has the callsign HHM, and operates on 356.0 kHz. HHM is a 1000 watt beacon, and as you can see from the images below, is certainly very impressive. Kotzebue is located above the Arctic Circle on the Chukchi Sea near Russia. The final two shots are from Barrow, Alaska. I'm very grateful to Dale for sharing them with us, and allowing me to display them here in the Beaconworld Photo Gallery. |
