Narrative:

Route of flight was djb.J82.jhw. After crossing djb and starting out the 074 degree radial, the first officer (who was flying) mistakenly read the VOR at jhw to be dkk just to the north. He then tuned 116.2 instead of 114.7 and began to intercept the 078 degree radial into dkk. I (captain/PNF) discovered the incorrect navigation frequency during the course of my normal xchk. We were about 9-10 NM off of the airway centerline when we discovered and corrected the error. ZOB made no mention of the error. Contributing factors were strong winds at altitude which made it difficult to hold the centerline of the airway. Thus, I (the PNF) initially assumed the deviation was wind related, not NAVAID related. Also, the identify box for dkk should not be so close to the jhw VOR. I've nearly made the same mistake myself before.

Title: THE CAPT RPTED THAT THE FO, PF, TURNED TO THE WRONG VOR IN ZOB AIRSPACE.

Narrative: RTE OF FLT WAS DJB.J82.JHW. AFTER XING DJB AND STARTING OUT THE 074 DEG RADIAL, THE FO (WHO WAS FLYING) MISTAKENLY READ THE VOR AT JHW TO BE DKK JUST TO THE N. HE THEN TUNED 116.2 INSTEAD OF 114.7 AND BEGAN TO INTERCEPT THE 078 DEG RADIAL INTO DKK. I (CAPT/PNF) DISCOVERED THE INCORRECT NAV FREQ DURING THE COURSE OF MY NORMAL XCHK. WE WERE ABOUT 9-10 NM OFF OF THE AIRWAY CTRLINE WHEN WE DISCOVERED AND CORRECTED THE ERROR. ZOB MADE NO MENTION OF THE ERROR. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE STRONG WINDS AT ALT WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO HOLD THE CTRLINE OF THE AIRWAY. THUS, I (THE PNF) INITIALLY ASSUMED THE DEV WAS WIND RELATED, NOT NAVAID RELATED. ALSO, THE IDENT BOX FOR DKK SHOULD NOT BE SO CLOSE TO THE JHW VOR. I'VE NEARLY MADE THE SAME MISTAKE MYSELF BEFORE.
