At one point, a LORAN-X (for some value of X > D) was proposed which
would use ~1kW transmitters with PRNG codes at 100kHz and give vastly
better results than LORAN-C.

It's mentioned somewhere in the ILA's archives, probably early '80ies.

The idea has been partially validated by DCF77's phase-coding.
