There's also a 8970 master emission, with the same
fading history, and about 2.4 ms earlier here than if it would come from
Dana. Thus Wildwood is currently transmitting both M and X signals.

Hey Chris,
it's there! I have added five slots 8970 m,w,x,y,z to the right of my LV
display, and since 22 UT I'm indeed getting a trace in the X slot allocated
to Seneca. It's about 12 pixels (0.55 ms) late here, so either the emission
delay or the location must be wrong.
Someone reported that the emissions are actually from the Loran
Support Center, Wildwood NJ (Cape May, 38.9464N 74.8668W). According
to Google Earth this is 6595 km from me, 164 km further than Seneca. That's
exactly 0.55 ms extra delay! So we know that they are transmitting from
Wildwood using Seneca parameters.
If you like to see it yourself, you can simply add a line containing
"8970x" at the end of the stations section, after the GPS entry.
Thanks for the tip!
Best 73,
Markus

Hi Markus,
From the 'time-nuts' list, yesterday evening
around 20UTC the 8970x Seneca N.Y. station was reported as being
active.
