Narrative:

Flying the longe one arrival into bna. At bwg VOR passage we turned to intercept the radial and prior to intercept of the 228 degree radial I was quizzed by ATC and told I was 5 mi south of the VOR. Our indications did not reflect this. This is my second such occurrence at this same VOR in 2 days. I suggest after twice in 2 different aircraft that there is a problem with this facility.
