NKR (NDB)
NKR is the call sign of a non-directional beacon with a range of 50 NM at Leimen-Ochsenbach, Germany, situated at 49°12' 12" N and 8°44'E.
NKR, which transmits on the frequency 292 kHz, uses as antenna a 20 metre tall free-standing lattice tower with a weight of 1200 kilograms, which is insulated against ground. The tower, built in the 1970s, is equipped for its electrical lengthing with a horizontal cross on its top. The output power of the transmitter is 100 watts, but, because its gain is only -10 dB, its ERP is just 10 watts.
