[time-nuts] Is a FS700 useable in the USA?

[Azelio Boriani]

Lucky you having found an FS700 cheap. On the usual epay there is one for
$600. The Loran C was shutdown in 2010 in the USA. Here in Europe there are
left few sites to cover the north. The Lessay chain is the nearest for me.
All the south chains were shutdown long ago.
