Oh--I just googled "navaid" and it has something to do with airplanes and navigation and radio and stuff...I now know what it is. It's that big red and white transmiter tower that I drive by each day.

It is a longwave radio beacon used by the Greater Rochester International Airport, broadcasting a continuous "RO" in morse code on 400 kilohertz. Many incoming flights line up on Elmwood Avenue on their landing approach, and this beacon can assist them in doing so. It has been a feature at the base of 590 at Elmwood Avenue for over 35 years, although the antenna was replaced probably 15 years ago.
When we lived on Valley Road, the old antenna caused interference on VHF Channel 5, but that stopped when the antenna was replaced.
Now I live three doors away from it and there is no real interference except on AM car radios when you are stopped at the light by the bridge, when you can occasionally hear its morse code identifier punching through.

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...............

Navaid marked vor at Sydney int'l airport is actually a DVOR. They use DVOR because it gives the planes a more accurate distance than conventional DVOR. I used to work on this stuff.
