1. The Appleby NDB 210.0 KHz is no longer in existance.
2 The VOR Position and frequency have changed. Frequency is now 113.10 MHz and position is directly in line with the centre line of the runway at the Southern end "Runway 20" on the Monaco strip of land.
If you look at the map, there is housing to the East and West of the centre part of the strip of land called "Monaco".
In the centre of the bare strip, between the buildings there is a white round "grid like" pattern when you zoom in. That is the EXACT site of the new VOR.
