• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I've been flying the JBK Boeing 307 Stratoliner to Australia (started in Memphis TN) and yesterday it was Bangladesh to Bangkok. One of the things I've been doing with this flight is not using the GPS, just the nav radios and a wind drift gauge. When I went to make a stop at Rangoon, I'd forgot that there are two NDBs there with the same frequency and range. Naturally the ADF picks up the one I didn't want which is about 30 miles from the airport. I started circling the NBD while buying time to figure out why I wasn't picking up the airports second NDB which is on a different frequency. Anyway, after a few laps circling the wrong NDB, I remembered us having this problem in the London to Melborne race a few years back. So, I decided to head west for a few minutes and managed to pick up the second NDB which was on the other side of the airport from me. Both of the NDB's with the same frequency are east of the Rangoon airport.

Hope I don't run into anything more like this.
