Four Course Range Historical Video (May 9, 2010)

Airline Transport Communications Incorporated and International Radio Station WWRB have recreated a four course range station, an aircraft navigational aid used in the 1930s until the 1970s. The recreation was technically challenging, requiring significant experimentation and reverse engineering. We have uploaded a video to YouTube describing its functionality and even including a flight using the range station for navigation. We hope you enjoy learning about this important historical navigation system as much as we enjoyed building it.
