Someone in this thread mentioned "at least 2 satellite time and frequency solutions" exists already. I only know of GPS (GNSS) constellations. What's the other?

From the bits I have read Europe seems far closer to eLORAN then we are. Perhaps 6 months ago the US performed a series of tests 2 eLoran solutions and something like 6 or more satellite solutions. I know the old Iridium satellites were in the tests and some other LEO satellites. But thats about it. What we need is a cheap SDR LORAN C sniffer. Low power runs 24 X 7 and turns a LED on if the stations active. Oh well another project in the someday pile.
