The VORTAC once transmitted a Morse Code identifier of "AEC" (.- . -.-.) on a frequency of 113.9 MHz. It now, apparently, sends five pulses, either Morse code for 5 or 0 depending on if the pulses are dashes or dots.

It is not listed on any aeronautical charts.

  • The AEC probably stands for Atomic Energy Commission.
