I think it is a holdover from the original A/N range, where one flew a
fixed beam, with a Morse A on one side and an N on the other. They
blended into a continuous tone when one was "on the beam". That was just
disappearing, and VOR was all the rage, when I started flying in 1957.
"Range" was a part of the culture, and VOR gave one omni-ranges instead
of the single beam.

It’s VHF Omnidirectional Range, for some reason, Chris. I’ve never been able to
fathom why it’s not radio.
