RE: LF: Loran-C Wildwood

[Bob Raide <rjraide@hotmail.com>]

What is shown on the web-eloran will be implemented for a back-up to GPS.  Why build and test a brand new system for back-up when the "old" loran C did just fine?  They ain't scuttling nothing...

Markus;
I can clearly see the 74.3199554 clearly even on Hartmut's grabber right now!  I would think for the system to work all the stations will be needed-in activated mode?

Wildwood loran c station was to be scuttled and property turned over to the US Fish and Game authority.  The agency was to use the property as a bird sanctuary.  No birds allowed just yet, I guess!

Strange they would be running that equipment that was supposed to be turned off as part of Obama's cost cutting.  I believe the hub of the operation was the big gun here 5 miles from me.  If they light that back up I'll go over for a visit!

Looks like 100 kHz test transmissions from Wildwood / Cape May NJ (GRI 8970) are back on air again since yesterday afternoon. Traces are strong here during the night, but also visible in daylight: http://www.df6nm.de/LoranView/LoranGrabber.htm

 

The line on 136170.5686 Hz is visible in Jay's 136 kHz spectrogram. I've updated the list of potential Loran lines in LF subbands for different parts of the world: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26404526/Loran_lines_in_LF_slots.txt (scroll all the way down for Wildwood).

 

Best 73,
