What NDBs are still on in the US?

All,

This isn't meant to be a debate about whether we should still put ADFs in planes or if we should bother learning NDB approaches. Instead, I was just wondering which ones are still actually on? I don't see any active NDB approaches here in Southern California, but you still see some on charts. That said, I know many are off. Anyone know which are actually still on?
 
In Arizona we have a few:

KCHD - NDB Rwy 04
KAVQ - NDB Rwy 12
KRYN - NDB Rwy 06R
KAZC - NDB A
KSOW - NDB A

So I have some chances to exercise my still functioning ADF.

I would think that NDBs will remain vital for commercial training, as they are still common overseas. No?
You don’t have to train for or demonstrate an approach type requiring equipment that is not in the plane you will use for the checkride.

I took my IR checkride in my plane with just VORs, ADF, and the DME. No GPS approaches required.
