DALE HUGHES' AUSTRALIAN NDB PICTURES:

On this page you will find some wonderful pictures of two of the Australian NDBs, it's very interesting to note the different style of towers used in Australia. My thanks to Dale for sharing these pictures with us, and giving us a the opportunity to see what the beacons 'down under' look like. The first picture in the list shows the transmitter housing of WOL, and the aerial feeder connection. No doubt the larger sized masts indicate a greater coverage area than many of the smaller UK type systems.
