A continuous wave, medium frequency (300 kHz region) long range directional radio beacon producing a number of radial equi-signal zones which shift in azimuth at a fixed rate and are separated by zones of dot and dash signals.

The bearing of a mobile station with respect to the beacon is determined by a count of the dot and dash signals within each respective zone.

The ambiguity can be resolved by the use of a D.F. receiver.
