Re: DAFIF NAVAID's

Guys it is a DVOR (Radar for BEIRUT Airport)

DVOR (Doppler Very High Frequency Omni-Range)
DVOR is the basic Electronic navigation that in use today. That is an aircraft flies from one DVOR to another.

This DVOR navigation method relies on ground based transmitters which emitted signals to DVOR receiver in the aircraft. The DVOR system operates in the VHF frequency band, from 108.0 to 117.95 MHz. For optimum operation the aircraft must be on the minimum altitude of 1000 feet above ground in order to pick up an Omni signals service range.

Most VOR stations also have distance-measuring equipment (DME). A display indicator in the aircraft reads the signals and tells the pilots if they are on course and how far they are from the station. VOR-DME systems are limited in range to 160 miles and can only provide direct courses to or from a given station.

If YOU CAN SEE THE WHITE CIRCLE in the image these are 48 antennas.
the place of the i is wrong it should be beside the withe circle.

trust me guys i live there and use to work there...............
