Noooo...

VORs (plural, not possessive) are in the VHF band (108-118 MHz. exactly)
Glideslopes are in the UHF band (325 MHz. or so)
DMEs are in L band (1000 MHz or so)

Actually, the apostrophe is NOT incorrect here if you consider VOR
to be a grouping of letters (abbreviation) rather than a acronym
(a word made out of the abbreviation). Certainly DME is not an
acronym. The rules of usage allow don't really favor one or the
other.
