Those are the fanciest NDBs I've ever seen. Here in the states, unless the
NDB is also a Locator Outer Marker (LOM) most of them look like a plain old
fasioned dipole. Generally the Outer Marker (OM) which is not an LOM looks
like a VHF corner reflector pointed straight up about 5 miles from the end
of the runway.
The NDB at the Gladwin MI airport is about 100 yards to the south of the
runway and quite visible. Small building for the equipment and the dipole.
"Most" NDBs are being decomissioned here in the states. Few new planes even
have the capability of receiving them. Instead they are building GPS
overlays which is an approach that only exists in the GPS receiver software.
In the old days it was not uncommon to create your own approach off an AM
station. Not legal, but they worked quite well.
