  Being of a certain age  I oft recall the musical phasing noises of Loran on 160m and kind of missed the musical sounds they made as sky waves did their thing. With the advent of the closedown of most of the American 100 khz chains save those serving Canadian and Russian chains I took a listen from here on my newly erected larger (maybe 75m) permeter E/W LF loop and phased out one signal and was left with a slowly phasing noise very similar to that heard on 160m - I dont recall hearing it before but of course  a lot of the chains/half rate are off so.... Now whether this is just due to the rather unstable conditions today up here - a lot of iono smearing seen on HF but anyway heres the link of what it sounded like from here in Wasilla AK =  Its a 2Mb file beware best phase noise towards the end...

  ps the large loop is to improve my s/n on 137 and 500 and it seems pretty good - Ive also been running a CW beacon around 506.000 Khz this evening but low power as Im playing with the matching -
