Was receiving 89700 microsecond GRI last night, but RF has dropped out now. Tried to copy the NJ station possibly on 99300 or 99600 GRIs, but no copy/lock here. Will continue to search. Stan, W1LECape Cod FN41sr On 3/27/2012 8:50 AM, paul swed wrote:

Also note that at times the freq accuracy goes out of whack. This may be due to some modulation behavior and the SRS reaction to it. Very clearly they shut the system down. Its not a guaranteed 24 X 7 at all. Weekends are off. On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 9:06 AM, Stan, W1LE stanw...@verizon.net

89700 GRI is locked up nicely on the FS700. The Austrons are still searching for 99300 and 99600, the old Wildwood, NJ GRIs, no lock yet. Plan it to hook up a scope and monitor the wave form for the reported eLORAN info. Will continue to monitor. Stan, W1LE Cape Cod On 3/27/2012 9:18

Been watching the LORAN tests and it used to be that the various austrons and SRS would settle to quite low offsets like the 12th after a while 24 plus hours. What I am seeing with the eLORAN is that at times the stability is quite good and working its way down. But then there are jumps and

Perhaps its just noise. But LORAN went off the air. In the quite I hear some low level junk. Only I am beginning to think its not low level junk. It sounds like a GRI thats been spread and perhaps this is what a GRI sounds like when you do lots of phase reversals. My O my time to fire up the old
