have heard is correct or not.
Yes........nearly all the MF beacons you can hear between 285 ....315 kHz  are
now transmitting diff.  Most 100  Bd ; some 200.
Also,  the Sylt Loran-C tx  (12.5 Bd PPM)  and a couple of LF stations atround
123 kHz.  With a good GPS set you can get 1-2 metres.
I've successfully tracked all of them up to 900 kms range in daylight; and as far as Cape Race NFLD, at night.
