Well I have to say, I resurrected my gertch RLA1 wwvb rcvr. In New England wwvb will be difficult. I have had it running 2 weeks now and would guess its good to 1X10-11 sort of. Just to many things going on. Even though I have a resonated 60KC loop properly pointed at wwvb.
So will guess gps it will be. I sure liked LORAN C and the austrons as a double check. Experimenting with tracor 599h to see if they work better and supposedly they can actually use the other vlf transmissions as a reference. I have naa in maine about 100-150 miles. Its very very strong but has msk keying. Again reading the 559 manual it doesn't care. Will fire it up tonight to see. Heavens knows what naas stability is they certainly do not need it.
