Interesting thread. OMEGA was on 10 - 14 or so KHz. There was a
LORAN-C station in Gillette WY, maybe WWVB came from there. I would
imagine converting a 100 KHz transmitter to 60 KHz is a whole lot easier
than 10 KHz to 60 KHz.
Near the end of the LORAN-C era, some of the transmitters were replaced
by "Accufix" transmitters by MegaPulse Corp. No oscillator(s) or
amplifier(s), no tubes, basically harked back to spark ... except they
used SCR's instead of a spark gap. They also had a roomful of high-tech
timing equipment, and produced exact LORAN-C pulses at a megawatt or so.
I doubt WWVB is using one of those. :-)

Hi Roger!
Yes, you're not the first to spot my error about ND, and my friend is
trying to confirm where the WWVB
LORAN C transmitter came from
