[time-nuts] 60 KHz Receiver

[J. Forster]

That's why I think an amateur timing LORAN network might be quite
feasable. Imagine a dozen 1 KW PEP A-LORAN stations with Rb and GPS
scattered around the US. There is no reason why a single transmitter could
not spoof a whole chain as it would not be used for navigation.

FWIW,
