[time-nuts] Loran DX and Austron 2100

[paul swed]

I had picked up the Lessay chain in the summer over night. But it was very
unreliable.
Have been waiting for winter to try again. I suppose it might be time but
business travel will preclude a effort this week. I am off next week so that
should be a good chance.

My antennas are.
Preamplified loran whip 6' off the ground. Was good enough for the summer
A 67 foot vertical with many radials 16 X as an alternate. No preamp.
