[time-nuts] LORAN-C reception in the UK

[Alan Melia]

Dave check with the Triniity House web site they are the sponsors of the 
Anthorn slave site, the master station is at Lessay on the St. Malo 
penninsular so should be strong. There is (or was) a full descrition of the 
"option to GPS"on the website.  I believe there should be at least 5 years 
to run on the original 10 year contract. The transmission is eLoran, at bit 
like Loran-C with a "DGPS". I think there is an extra pulse in the train, I 
dont think this will affect the receiver you quote. The 100kHz signal should 
be OK in daytime may will suffer some phase shifts at night at more extreme 
range. This should not be a problem at your range from Lessay.
