Sadly there is small perhaps a typographical error in the write up in Sub Heading Radio Frequencies and Signal Character, Sub Sub Heading VHF and UHF Bands. It is ( Frequencies) printed incorrectly in lines 3 and 4
It should read :
UHF IS USED FOR GLIDE SLOPE
VHF IS USED FOR LOCALISER
Your Technical team would already be aware that both VOR and LOCALISER are within the VHF BAND of Frequencies, the same BAND of Frequencies used for Commercial Radio Stations e.g. BBC Radio 1,2,3,4 and 5 in United Kingdom
Yours Sincerely
