FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VLF or Very Low Frequency-Navigation System “OMEGA” in 1976, the US Coast Guard erected a 417 meter tall radio tower, which is taller than any man-made object existing today in the European Union. OMEGA was the first global-range radio navigation system, operated by the United States in cooperation with six partner nations. It was a hyperbolic navigation system, enabling ships and aircraft to determine their position by receiving very low frequency (VLF) radio signals in the range 10 to 14 kHz, transmitted by a global network of eight fixed terrestrial radio beacons, using a navigation receiver unit. It became operational around 1971 and was shut down in 1997 in favour of the Global Positioning System.

LIBEERIA NATIONAL MUSEUM
MONROVIA
Visibility: Through out the year
PRICE : $200
WITH TWO DEVASTATING CIVIL WARS casting a shadow over its modern image, it’s often forgotten that Liberia was the first African republic to proclaim its independence—a feat it accomplished back in 1847. Even more impressive is the fact that this tiny nation, founded by an upstart group that encouraged free African Americans to migrate to Africa, was able to maintain its sovereignty in the face of intense European colonization, which by the time it was over, left nearly 90 percent of the continent’s total landmass in the hands of foreign powers.
DUCOR HOTEL LIBEERIA
MONROVIA
Visibility: Through out the year
PRICE : $200
ONCE OPERATED BY INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS, this hotel was abandoned in 1989 due to political uncertainty just before the coup and first civil war. Due to looting and locals taking up residence in the hotel through the years, the hotel is dilapidated and dangers exist throughout.
However, able-bodied individuals should be able to navigate the stairways without too much trouble, and the sight from the rooftop – giving a full panoramic view of Monrovia – easily merits the effort.
When the security staff ask you for a “small thing” to enter, just let them know you’re a teacher, Peace Corps volunteer, etc. and they should let you in – and likely escort you through – for two or three dollars.
