Quite a few people will know Pula as a favorite holiday destination. A 2500 year old city on the tip of the the Istria peninsula, Croatia. And as a holiday destination attracts traffic, Pula has it own airport. And as airports still have NDBs I was able to receive NDB PLA Pula on 351.5 kHz. Mr. Mario Birkić, head of Istria/Kvarner ATC was so kind to confirm my report.
The PLA NDB is not located on the Istria Peninsula though, but on the largest of the Brioni Islands in the Adriatic.
I’m in Southwest England, just scanning around for NDBs, as you do. Just found PLA 351.5 and stunned to discover it’s all the way over in Croatia! (furthest I’ve found before was ALD Alderney (Channel Islands) on 383 kHz. Thank you for your blog for helping me identify it.

This blog looks interesting, I’ll have a look around.
Thank you Jez for visiting my site. If you are interested in NDBs, please check these sites; https://www.ndblist.info/index.htm .
