[time-nuts] eLORAN will be on the air GRI 99600

[paul swed]

Hi Magnus been a while since have emailed.
Its one site that was a test transmitter. Its in New Jersey, USA.
The goal of the testing I believe is to establish the viability of an
alternate PNT reference to GPS. Additionally the ability to communicate
some level of message broadcast. This should be identical to proposals I
have heard of in Europe.
But I have no direct relationship to any of this. Like you, a very
interested observer and hope that eLORAN wins the battle.
Unfortunately there are many alternate proposals such as using other
satellites. Hmmm if I wanted to advance my career in the Air Force or Space
Force (Yes thats actually real now).
Would I select the lowly reliable as heck eLORAN at sub $100 M/year to
operate. Or the glorious space based proposals in $B region. Never mind
that at least 3 countries now have demonstrated killer satellites.
Sorry for that editorial.
Regards
Paul
