[AF] NDB antennas

[Ronald J. Dot'o Sr.]

Back in the late '60's I was very involved with the Civil Air Patrol in air 
search and rescue.  One morning at first light we were climbing out of Berz 
Airport in my friends Beech Musketeer in which I had installed an old Lear 
12 ADF recently on the way to a search for a downed fellow birdman.  I 
turned on the ADF and tuned to WJR.  The announcer was reading the news and 
stated" The CAP will be sending out search planes at first light to aid in 
the search for the downed pilot"  I turned to the PIC and said" Hey Don, 
they're talking about us!"

It felt good!
