In case any of you have want to play with Loran-C, here is a modern
DIY computer-based DIY receiver for time-purposes:

Mouser has the "aduc7026" board for EUR62/USD76.
In addition to that you need a 42MHz clock (I use the TAPR PLL
board) and a random transformer to attach your antenna.
Here is a time-lapse gif with a nights worth of loran-C:

Have fun...
