A non-profit organization that operates a series of small yachts was in need of a NDB system for a new yacht. The NDB was needed for the helicopter-landing pad to provide safe navigation to supply the vessel without returning to port. The client wanted to install the NDB on the vessel near the helideck, but the antenna would be too close to the water to effectively send out a strong enough signals for navigation.
