The military have air deployable radio trucks. A LORAN station could be built into a few trailers, including generator, clocks, and transmitter. There are also fielded deployable masts. Such a station could be deployed rapidly. It would not have as powerful signal as the original station, but would, IMO, be fully functional. -John >> >> A LORAN site, with a several hundred meter high mast, a small house full >> of transmitter, signal generation and Cs clock(s?)... on a remote >> Norwegian island... would not be back online within a few hours after an >> attack. > > Regardless of location, it will take some time to restore functionality. > About a year maybe. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
