Actually, this VOR is kind of special, in a historical kind of way.

The last time I was at Base Camp, the VOR was not listed on the charts. It signs AEC, because Base Camp was the "Base Camp" for project Faultless. The only below-ground nuclear test done by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), in Nevada, outside of the test site.

Other than that, it is quite mundane...
