NICOLAS PELATAN'S FRENCH NDB IMAGES
|
|
Another superb collection of NDB images which were kindly supplied by Nicolas, and this time featuring the NDBs: 'DSA 351' Dieppe, 'MV 434' Villaroche, 'BLB 397' Blois, 'CC 391' Chalons sur Saone, 'SZA 349,5' Military Solenzara Corsica, and 'RY 427' Royan.
Many French NDBs use the characteristic Mode A1A with a zero Hz offset, where idents appear exactly on the carrier frequency, and many of the beacons shown here have/had the characteristic 'zero' offsets, with the ident being transmitted on the exact carrier frequency (Note# At the moment a lot of the French NDBs are being converted to 400Hz offsets).
