They make quite good frequency markers - like radio graph paper. I wonder if anyone can answer my three questions ... 1. How does Loran work - or is it a closely guarded secret ? (perhaps there's a website that explains it somewhere ?) 2. Are there Loran transmitters in Europe, or do the lines that we see here (in the UK), emanate from the US ? 3. I see RADIATED PEAK POWER (kW) quoted, and another column mentions "coding", but there doesn't seem to be any modulation on the lines I see - are these transmitters running as much as 1400 kW ERP all the time - it seems an awful lot ? 73 Hugh M0WYE m0wye@thersgb.net
