THE NDB LIST MAILING LIST: The NDB List was formed in November 1998 to cater for European NDB enthusiasts, but has now grown to a worldwide membership covering all parts of the world, and all types of analogue beacons such as NDBs, HF Propagation Beacons, Cluster Beacons and Amateur Experimental Beacons. Beacuse of the growing interest in DGPS and NAVTEX monitoring within the group we decided to expand this into two new groups, and include other data modes as well, and members (or potential members) with an interest in these might like to check out these groups via the links above. In spite of the closure and impending closure of many Aeronautical NDBs, we still expect that there will be many around for quite a few years yet, so this aspect of the hobby is a long way from dead, but if you are interested in these types of signals we would recommend chasing them whilst you still can. Please note that this group is privately owned, and is also a very friendly and well behaved group, so all new membership applicants have to be approved first. We're not elitist, but we do take the security of our members very seriously, so if you are a troll, flamer or spammer don't bother to apply, you will definitely not be welcomed or tolerated here. |
