This month's navaid is in the United States. It previously was named after the nearby city, but was renamed (and given a different identifier) to avoid confusion with that city's airport. That city is known as a center of agricultural product processing. The VORTAC's name origin is unknown, but it is the plural form of a species of reptile.

This VOR is located at a major airport, but does not share identifiers with it. Its identifier is the same as an airport in the U.S. served by Southwest Airlines.
The city served by this airport is the Capital of its province. The majority religion here is different than all the other provinces of this country.
