Hi

Has there been any indication of just what they eventually will be doing?
Is this a never ending series of experiments or do they now have plans
to put something more perminanalt on the air?

The system works and they are using the system for various demonstrations
to government types. It is indeed Washingtons speed to resolution thats
taking the time.
So my crystal ball says nothing at all on what and when.
But that said the fact that its on for a month lets me check some
references.

Yes
I think we are struggling with what to do. Support a low cost solution or
invest in yet another satellite system at $$$$$$ that went bust and is
working its way back to life.
Then it hits the government. God knows the answer to that. Goes to the
highest bidder. :-)
Best get off that thread. Not useful.
Signals running fine and everything here is happy. The Austrons and SRS.
All down to the -11th and thats on a so so GPSDO.

Hi

Given that the transmit end of these systems is actually the cheap. quick, and easy
part of it (even with GPS), not making a decision for years is a bad thing. The longer
they push out a system decision, the further out any sort of target use gets. Running
Loran with antiques in my or your basement does not count in this regard. What
counts is putting it into any sort of infrastructure use. That will only happen if
regulations require it. Even if they do, it’s a “several decades” sort of process
to make that all happen.

Hi,

The usefulness of alternative signals is less and less debated. There
are some strong opponents to eLoran. At the same time, the use of
precision timing and the dependency, the trouble modes etc. is to some
degree still dawning on decision makers. eLoran still have some issues
due to the frequency range used. Accepting foreign [sic] signals remains
somewhat of an issue. Useful and practical use of network for backup
remains to be to be seen in wider use. The popular options discussed is
neither practical or easy to deploy. Then again, I'm biased in that regard.

26 Jan did some good, and upcoming leap-second comes very timely in that
regard.

Cheers,
Magnus

I'm all for a diversity of systems - putting all our eggs in the GPS basket
seems unwise (and I maintain WWV receivers hooked to NTP at home!)

That said, what kind of demonstration can they do with a single LORAN site?
Or is "Wildwood" a complex with both a primary and a secondary at a short
demonstration baseline?

Hi

It is indeed difficult to see how a “generic” system will be able to do as well as GPS.
It is also tough to see how systems that are designed with GPS time performance
in mind (100 ns is trivial) will do with a degraded signal.

Hi,

The usefulness of alternative signals is less and less debated. There are some strong opponents to eLoran. At the same time, the use of precision timing and the dependency, the trouble modes etc. is to some degree still dawning on decision makers. eLoran still have some issues due to the frequency range used. Accepting foreign [sic] signals remains somewhat of an issue. Useful and practical use of network for backup remains to be to be seen in wider use. The popular options discussed is neither practical or easy to deploy. Then again, I'm biased in that regard.

26 Jan did some good, and upcoming leap-second comes very timely in that regard.

Hi

Given that the transmit end of these systems is actually the cheap. quick, and easy
part of it (even with GPS), not making a decision for years is a bad thing. The longer
they push out a system decision, the further out any sort of target use gets. Running
Loran with antiques in my or your basement does not count in this regard. What
counts is putting it into any sort of infrastructure use. That will only happen if
regulations require it. Even if they do, it’s a “several decades” sort of process
to make that all happen.

Wildwood is a single transmitter and antenna. Not even a full power site.
It was for testing. That said its key function is to distribute time
frequency and messages. Not navigation. But evidently with a single tower
navigation is possible.
They are using advanced coding that seems to help the signal work well in
buildings to a degree.
But I am not an expert or anything like that on the navigation method.
I can say the frequency stability was very good and with the coding even
better.

I am just happy a LORAN transmitter is on the air with a HP 5071 on the
other end. Good enough for my meager use.
