I just witnessed the switch off of the Canadian Loran C system. As of about 0500 UTC the last remaining loran line disappeared from the grabber. http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/eng/CCG/Home 73 Scott VE7TIL
Scott, This is almost too funny...I needed to do an 8 kHz sampling rate cal on this laptop, and tuned down to 100 kHz this afternoon around 1800 UTC. The Loran-C signal sounded a bit odd, with slow Q
Oh Dear... how do I check my frequency now? I'll have to build a gpsdo... Just checked on 100 kHz, there is a very weak loran signal but otherwise very quiet. CFH is still quite strong on 137. 73 Joe
Hello Scott, LF, this is what it looked like from here: http://www.alice-dsl.net/df6nm/LoranView/LoranGrabber.htm From Fox Harbour (7270x, 5930z), weak red and green daytime traces were still visible
