This has just appeared on the time-nuts group but I have not been able to
check it yet. It will be a bit of a shock to Trinity Ho. as they have a
contract with Babcock Int for Anthorn until 2019 I think. Anthorn isnt dual
rate (I believe) so it cant work with Sylt so it becomes useless. To be sure
we need some corroberation or a posting from a trusted source. It will
certainly make a difference to 136kHz
...........or am I just getting out-of -touch :-))

Subject: [time-nuts] Lessay and Soutons French LORAN Stations Shutting Down
Hi Folks
Received this sad message re Lessay and Soustons LORAN stations.
Would guess that France-Inter/TDF won't be far behind, as IIRC
France had decided to cease all LW transmissions, but I still
hope :)
> CONTROL CENTER BREST AND THE TWO FRENCH LORAN STATIONS (LESSAY
6731M/7499X AND
> SOUSTONS 7499X)
> WILL CLOSE DEFINITIVELY THE 31st OF DECEMBER 2015 AT 1100 UTC*
A real shame, as for me Lessay is stronger than Anthorn for me
With the 6731 Master off air, anyone know if The Austron 2100's will be
able to lock onto the remaining slaves at Anthorn and Sylt on the 6731
chain ?
(I guess I could lock onto the Sylt master on 7499, but Anthorn would be
more reliable from here...)
Anyone receivbed purely a slave station with the Austrons w/o being in
range of the master station ?
Iain
