Narrative:

Executing NDB approach into cyoo. Aircraft was not receiving navigation signal as strong as normal. Called ATC 2 mi past NDB, was right of course and down to 1000' MSL. At that time did not have airport in sight. ATC cleared me for another NDB approach to cyoo as published. While turning back to fly to the NDB I had the airport below me in sight. ATC also informed me they had me visly. I requested a circling approach to land on runway 30 and ATC cleared me to land. Xed airport midfield and entered left downwind for runway 30. Came around to final, but was slightly right of runway. Upon landing was told to contact tower on land line. I called them and was informed there was some question as to the approach procedure. We discussed it and tower seemed satisified, and indicated there would be no further investigation. WX at time of procedure: sky obscured, visibility 2 mi, fog-4500' broken, 8500' overcast, winds light and variable.
