Well this is indeed a good new year. It would appear that Anthorn will be active for a year to 2017. It will be dual rated as a master and slave same sight. Much like the US. The ups and downs you are seeing are the process to dual rate the Master. Should settle out soon as Master and Y. So It would appear that at least one country sees the value in an alternate time and frequency distribution method. Hats off to the UK.
OK now I may have to go back to building the 10' square loop. Do a bit of eLORAN DX.
