I'm in full compliance with FAR 91.205 in that regard, I have two fully
functional VOR receivers aboard.


But those ordinary VOR receivers will do approximately nothing for
you, when flying direct to a faraway VOR they cannot pick up yet, thus
they are not "appropriate to the ground facilities to be used".
