I think the Loran-C “slave“ stations were officially called “secondaries“, possibly for political correctness.

Hi Stefan !
no, i was just using the master/slave scheme from LORAN systems as an
analogy. As everybody on this reflector is familiar with it ;-)
I guess the "master station " should be selected from a view of
practicality. It needs a somewhat geographically centered position in EU
plus some technical advancedness.
Looks to me as if u are in the bowl :-)
And yes, the northamericanos are doing this activity thing quite nicely,
an european counterpart event would be a timely thing i guess.
The kite antenna is intriguing but it is not a normal installation and
requires lots of time and weather cooperation. I´d reserve that for TA
attempts. Just too much effort for a regular thing to happen.
The signals are so loud in EU on MF, even verticals of 10m height only
produce enormous signals. I guess a wide audience can play that game.
On the other hand . TGIF !!!!
