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

Its honestly by luck that I know anything. 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.
