"K" in VOR identifier

Any chance you were perhaps identifying I-BDL, the identifier for localizer
for runway 6?

Other than that, it makes no sense to me. According to the AFD, the
identifier for the VORTAC should be simply BDL. Perhaps an engineer
erroneously rentered the identifier with a 'K' after testing the navaid.

I had a first today; flying VFR across New England on this clear winter
day, my route took me over Bradley, KBDL. I always tune VORs during my
flights, so tuned Bradley's VOR.

Identifying, though, was interesting. The morse identifier was FOUR
characters, the last three of which were B D L. I had to listen a few
times to believe my ears; there was a K before B D L.

I've overflown Bradley many times, but this was the first time it had a K
preceeding the rest of the identifier. If VORS are being phased out, why
would a change like this be made? Or was something else going on?

Inquiring minds would like to know.
