Thanks Paul.  Well I’m in the UK near Cambridge, Google tells me that it is 240 miles.  Also interested in Bristol UK which is 245 miles from Anthorn.  I don’t have a suitable receiver so can’t just listen!

 

John.

John whats your approximate location?

I am near Boston and do not hear Anthorn when I try. When the chain was operating years ago I could pick up a station at night, in the winter on occasion. Thats maybe 2700 miles. Perhaps more. All skywave. Using a preamplified whip antenna. Pretty much a loran c boat antenna.

But have heard nothing for quite a few years. I also for some reason believe Anthorn is not running at full power. Something I read many years ago.

The new eLORAN has several purposes. Timing, potentially navigation, certainly emergency messaging. In the timing respect it can be very good even in buildings with the coding used. (Its dangerous on Time-Nuts to say very good. Humor)
