Yes indeed when the NA sites were active. But unfortunately europe is not showing up. Not that it would have been very good for a frequency reference check.

I've not looked lately, but with the Austron loop and a 7854 Tek scope near Boston, LORAN pulses used to be several volts.

Re: [time-nuts] Loran DX and Austron 2100
Hi The one we had used a whip mounted to a preamp. The antenna was a separate line item on the PO, so you could pick which ever one you wanted to use. We wanted to sync to multiple chains, so the omni directional whip made sense. Never had an Austron loop, so I can't say which one was the better antenna.

Re: [time-nuts] Loran DX and Austron 2100
Hi It's been a long time since I've tried this, but the Iceland chain was a reasonable catch from the central US with an Austron 2100 and the standard supplied whip antenna. Reception was "ok" at night and useless during the day. As I recall the signal was well above (> 20 db) the rated floor of the receiver at night. Local noise sources near the antenna are likely to be more of an issue than antenna type. Directivity can indeed help with that. Down there, what ever you use will need to be vertically polarized. If you do believe gain is the issue, a 30' vertical on a good ground / out in the clear may give you almost 14 db of gain over the normal 6' whip over who knows what (volts per meter ...). That assumes both are run into a high impedance preamp. Picking up the chains in Europe (or even Asia) is very do-able. The signal will be a sky wave only sort of thing. That limits it's use for timing. Certainly an entertaining way to pass the winter.

Re: [time-nuts] Loran DX and Austron 2100
Good Morning Claude, I am assembling a K9AY terminated loop antenna, pointing to N. Europe. (~30 degrees) Will use a ARR preamplifier at the antenna. I hope to start listening later this month. Some stations to listen for: Lessay, France master on GRI 6731, Soustons France, slave X BO , master on 7001, Jan Mayen, slave X, Berlevag slave Y Sylt, on 7499, Lessay, slave X, Vaerlandet, slave Y Eidi (Ejde) on 9007 master, Jan Mayen slave W,BO slave X, Vaerlandet slave Y From my location on Cape Cod FN41sr, looks like the closest active chain is Eidi with GRI of 9007 Eidi, IP62lh DX of 2900.1 miles Jan Mayen, IQ50pv, 2900.2 miles Lessay, IN99fd at 3274.1 miles Soustons, IN93hr at 3412.4 miles, (6731 GRI) I have not calculated BO, and Berlevag details (7001 GRI) nor for the Sylt chain. A google search on "Loran C stations" will show a listing of the few active stations with the station details like RF power output and Lat/Long. I have converted Lat/Long to 6 digit grid locator for my ease in LOB and DX calculations with BD2004 software. Sky wave propagation should be possible for the North Atlantic, European, Western Russia, Saudi, and Mediterranean chains. Low likelihood of any ground wave and its better accuracies. I miss my Nantucket Loran-C station and its Cs accuracies. A modern Stanford Research Systems model FS700 Loran C receiver is on hand as the receiver.
