Thanks Noell,
That is brilliant. Just found 2 airports NDB ,Newquay 347Khz, bearing 230deg, distance 28nm, Culdrose Naval base 370KHz, 11nm, bearing350deg. Just did a triple fix including the RTE Irish radio 1 252Khz, bearing 350 deg, distance 204nm. Gave my garden correct within about half a mile. I’m amazed. Cant remember it being that accurate using marine bearings in the 80’s but perhaps it was!
Looks like I could use this as another back-up get home system!

My copy and paste didn't work.
Look at http://skyvector.com/
Zoom in almost anywhere in the USA and a beacon with morse code identifier will show up.
