What are these?

[NeWcS]

I got these for Buckley AFB. Are they anything worth programing in?

Nearby radio navigation aids
VOR radial/distance    VOR name    Freq    Var 
FQFr266/6.1  FALCON VORTAC  116.30  11E 
DENr201/7.9  DENVER VOR/DME  117.90  11E 
DVVr196/13.0  MILE HIGH VORTAC  114.70  11E 
BJCr114/21.9  JEFFCO VOR/DME  115.40  11E 
BVRr254/38.2  BYERS VOR/DME  113.50  10E

Thank you

Not unless you are flying with a handheld that can speak VOR for nav ..

Jay,

Like Crayon said, those are navigation aids. They transmit what sounds like chirps and morse code. 108MHz - 118 is usually used for aviation navigation aids. Most of the voice comms are between 118 - 137. Do you have a VHF air band-plan?

There is one here:

Pilots still transmit across NAV freqs, but it's rare. They transmit on the NAV freq, and the receiving station on the ground, usually a flight service station, transmits on a different freq (usually in the 118-136 range) which the pilot monitors. So, it is a two-frequency system.

Colin,

Sorry you have it backwards....pilots listen to the NAV freq i.e. the VOR for the air traffic controllers
voice....pilots transmit on a different frequency. The most common one is 122.100 but there are others in use such as 123.600. It's called duplex operation.
