Reply: That’s fine equipment that you have. What I don’t know but have to find out if the newer semi-conductors would make a better receiver. Trash factor acknowledged.
Wrote: I like you want a second source but will say I was spoiled by loran. Maybe I did not realize how much. Even though my first loran timing recvr was homebrew in about 1989 as I recall.
Reply: I’m very impressed that you could make a homebrew Loran receiver

Reply: I’m 1274 Miles according to Yahoo maps. By the crow flying probably 1100 miles. I live in Manchester, TN. According to the NIST map I’m in the middle of the 100 micro-volt per meter zone, so I’m probably better than that but I don’t know by how much better yet.
Regards,
Perrier
