Re: LF: CFH, Loran Wildwood

Hi Bob the Lessay and Sylt chains have not stopped operating as far as I remember they were certainly active when the UK had 74kHz. I believe these chanis have been running the eLoran protocol for some time now.  There was a slight pause when Rugby which was running an experiental station (using the Loop Head gear and GRI) closed and the gear moved up to Anthorn as a permenent location.  The real problem then was noise from an idling Rugby TX. I was certainly using a slightly cruder form of waterfall and we operated between the Loran lines. So it wont be too much of a change for reception at this end.

Markus;
CHF is on the air at this moment-usual S9 signal and data stream as usual.
I am wondering if more Loran is going to be coming back on and then there is the new eloran in the UK to come on next year.  Could be doom for the 73 band as we have it now?
Bob

Last night, CHF 73.6 kHz apparently went off air at midnight UT:

I noticed the lines in Jay's Eu grabber, and found that Loran-C from Wildwood was active again:
