KWE Guiyang VOR/DME Transmitter


Location: 26.520000N 106.795000E
Frequency 114.30 MHz

Guiyang is a VOR combined with DME transmitter used in aviation navigation. It is located at Longdongbao Airport, China.

VOR, short for VHF Omni-directional Radio Range, is a type of radio navigation system for aircraft. VORs broadcast a VHF radio composite signal including the station's morse code identifier (and sometimes a voice identifier), and data that allows the airborne receiving equipment to derive a magnetic bearing from the station to the aircraft (direction from the VOR station in relation to the Earth's magnetic North at the time of installation).

Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) is a transponder-based radio navigation technology that measures distance by timing the propagation delay of VHF or UHF radio signals.
