"It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on" - Marilyn Monroe
Rijeka Airport in Croatia has two approach and landing NDBs: NDB BRZ Breza to the north west and NDB RI Rijeka to the south east, as can been seen on the excellent Skyvector website.
As with the NDB PLA and KAZ for Pula Airport, Mr. Birkić, head of Istria/Kvarner ATC was so kind to confirm my report.
While the city of Rijeka is situated on the mainland of Croatia, the airport and NDB RI are located on the island Krk.
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.
The island of Drevnik is located in the Adriatic Sea, west of Split Airport, Croatia. Denis Kosor, Head of the ATC unit for the Split region was zo kind to confirm my reception report of NDB DVN on 418 kHz.
Croatian Airspace is divided over 6 Regional ATC centres, part of Croatia Control. I have had some success in getting QSLs from the Regional Centres. Mr. Gadzic from the Osijek Regional centre was so kind to return a QSL for NDB CE-372 (Osijek/Cepin) and NDB OSJ-422 (Osijek Airport).
For who is interested, attached find some details about the Navaids at Osijek Airport.
