[time-nuts] eLORAN in the Antipodes ? (was: Re: eLORAN will be on the air GRI 99600)

Yes it does. More ionosphere than air. It would be skywave or indirect
path. I mentioned that earlier.
Now silly thought would a huge antenna work especially if you are at the
antipode. Further would it be gray line propagation.
Thats just silly talk. But something to think about.
Regards
Paul.
