non-directional Beacons (NDB's) in Poland :

In Poland, as like in many other countries of eastern Europe and north and central Asia, many airports have 2 (or even 4) NDBs for a runway. They are paired, each two work on the same frequency, but only one at a time - they are designators giving the pilot the actual landing direction. If you have 4 NDBs, the outer pair usually works on a higher frequency, and the inner pair on a lower frequency.

 

This example shows the 4 NDBs known as 'Oksywie', located near Gdynia. The inner pair of NDBs (NW, NO) works on 290 kHz, the outer pair (NOW, NWO) works on 494 kHz.

In this listing, the paired NDBs according to the definition given above are considered by me as the 'same' NDB, even if it is a pair of 2 different NDBs being close to each other. But except for special reasons, there is always only one of them on the air.
