RDF

Obtaining lines of position to radio transmitters for navigation, either transmitters specifically maintained for navigation or commercial AM radio transmitters. The process can be carried out with dedicated RDF radios or with simple hand-held AM radios. The procedure is discussed in some Light Lists, especially the older ones. We cover it in emergency nav course but no longer in our basic coastal nav course.
