The RAB99 and RJH stations are a good system. They send sequential
multi-frequency phase-coherent transmissions (one freq at a time) and
are like the inverse of the US Omega nav system -- if you already know
your exact location, then you can extract very accurate time
information from the phase-coherent transmissions. I believe they
started in the 1960s and during the early 1970s there were only 4
transmitters involved, sites near Moscow, Minsk, Arkhangelsk, and
Khabarovsk. I have forgotten the call signs used then (different than
now). The VLF band gives them wide coverage over large areas of land
and ocean. A very good system, unlike anything used in the Western
world.
