DAVID THORPE'S NDB IMAGES

On this page you will find a number of NDB images kindly taken and supplied by David Thorpe. These feature the NDB at Carnane on the Isle of Man, which currently transmits the ident of 'CAR' and operates on 366.5 kHz. Like many of the NDBs in use in the British Isles, this one uses the characteristic NonA2A mode, with a 400 Hz offset, with idents plus and minus 400 Hz from the listed carrier frequency. The mast is a three sided lattice type, with a capacity hat on the top.
