Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] LORAN-C 100 kHz Nantucket
The Canadian and USA east coast and midwest systems were shut down in February; the far-west Canadian and Alaskan systems just shut down a week or two ago. The Far East Russian remaining chain (GRI 5980) is still in operation. I get it fading in every morning for 30-60 minutes, otherwise 100kc is blissfully silent. The master station at George, WA was my strongest radio signal, and I had to use a homebrew Loran notch filter to stop the intermod in my radios. I'm thrilled that they are finally silent. 73, Steve NE Oregon - Original Message - From: "Patrick Griffith" To: "IRCA" ; Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2010 10:38 AM Subject: Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] LORAN-C 100 kHz Nantucket The Loran-C decommissioning has been on and off again so many times that it is difficult to keep up with.
