[time-nuts] Loran - any good for timekeeping?

[Rob Kimberley]

Long time since I played with a LORAN-C timing receiver, but the Austron
units were good to a microsecond. Interesting to know what the newer
technology can manage.

How good is Loran for timekeeping?  How does it compare to WWVB?

What sort of receiver do I need?  Any good how-to type web pages?

I'm in Silicon Valley.  The NIST map says that WWVB should work here, but my
quick try didn't get very far.  I was just using a small ferrite antenna and
I didn't check the tuning.
