08/07/2003: "LORAN phase jumps -- antenna related?"


Just found an interesting article on some LORAN stability testing in the Netherlands where an E-field antenna showed significantly greater effects from a change in near-field signal re-radiation than did an H-field antenna -- 100ns vs 50ns. I am using a voltage-probe (E-field) antenna, so this may be a factor -- now I just need to figure out what might be changing locally to cause the change.
