[time-nuts] Locked onto LORAN 8970 GRI Monday AM

[paul swed]

Their interest is indeed a time service as an alternate to GPS. There is no
intent to re-activate much of the actual chains its not for the old
location service at all. UrsaNav has published several ppts that show what
there interests seem to be.
I think the key business is selling new rcvrs that can take advantage of
the new transfer method. Some of the work they have done shows that setting
up a transmitter in the mid US has very good coverage but setting up 2
really does a very fine job.

But all this said. Its unclear to me as to how the power bill gets paid
every year.
WWVB seems to have the gov paying the bill. And for us east coasters you
don't get what you pay for. Not so sure UrsaNav has that backing.

But selling rcvrs sure isn't going to pay for that electric bill even if
they are far more then we time-nuts can afford.
So I want to thank UrsaNav for at least putting a compatible signal out for
the moment. Will enjoy as long as I can.
I actually believe what we are seeing is a tug of war between NIST and
UrsaNav for the actual transmit funding. Neither has a need to support the
past to survive.
