   Hi, Joe !

   No...:

   Usually the accuracy is something about +- .02 Hz, maybe better. I use 
the 137,778.370 Hz Loran-C sideband line (GRI 7499) for calibration and 
monitoring purpose, but, last night, unfortunately, this line disappeared, 
I don't know why, perhaps the maintenance scheduled in Lessay and Soustons 
?

   I was using the DL4YHF SpectrumLab with FFT input size 32768, decimate 
input by 64, along with the "one pixel per FFT bin option", the windows 
was open from 137,776.70 to 137,780.33 Hz, and the next line (GRI 6731 - 
137,780.419 Hz), if there, was outside the spectrogram.
   With these options, the steps are labelled each .1 Hz, and the distance 
between two steps is more than 1/4 inch large on the screen, so it is 
easily possible to extrapolate .01 Hz. When the temperature is 
stablilized, and this needs about 1-1/2 or 2 hours, the Loran lines are 
moving less than .01 Hz in the spectogram.

   I fully agree with Markus DF6NM about the usefulness for us of the Loran 
sidebands.
   But, anyway... May somebody else on the reflector confirm the frequency ?

   Best 73 Joe and all, thank you from all of us for running the beacon !
