[time-nuts] Loran-C Simulation

Hi Paul, We're certainly very lucky that Anthorn's still up and running, especially as it's only 90 miles from here:-), but I don't know why and wouldn't want to take it for granted. Thanks to the generosity of two other list members, for which I'm extremely grateful, it would seem I've av

Nigel Returned from a business trip this week. Glad you are making progress. You are lucky to have an active station to run your equipment. I do agree that the various equipment now surplus is really nice. Though I still see strange things at crazy prices on some web sites. If you do proceed on ard

Thanks to Robert and Edesio I now have all the Parallax tools, which I must admit I thought were also lost. Fortunately there's no immediate panic with Anthorn still running for now so I'll still take a look at a possible Arduino alternative, but will also keep hunting for a live SX-B28:-)

Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply, I did know you were still here and had considered writing direct, but felt the subject might be of interest to others too:-) Given the demise of the SXB I was expecting there might have been at least a few other projects by now, especially with all the Aust

Nigel I am still here and agree the SXB is long gone. But I shared the code and it was in basic. An arduino with higher speed will do a fantastic job of replacing that very simple code. It is indeed simple. I have no plan to do that conversion but maybe I will some day. The real trick was the timin

Although eLoran is still being transmitted from Anthorn in the UK, simultaneously as master and secondary after the Lessay master closed down, it seems to have more of an experimental rather than "official" status these days and with no guarantees as to future availability. Without wanting to
