OK getting a bit more information I can acquire and track the 90070 chain in
the North East US.
First settle occurred at 1900 local and tracking at 2000. Austron terms. The
2100f seems to grab the signal quickly the 2100 seems to have a far harder
time. Signal strength is 80 db and noise is 1200. I

9007M is probably not 3000 miles away from you, it's out in the
middle of the atlantic:

Thats odd it says loop head Ireland not exactly the middle of the ocean. At
least thats the closest station I can find.
But that said I can get a frequency measurement but also at my very limit
from what I can tell.
I do want to look at the autron 2000 and SRS FS700. The 2000 lets you see

Hard to say if Faroe or Loop head is closer. Kindo of look about the same.
It would be nice if google maps had a way to plot distance.

When you hook up the SRS FS700 to the antenna you can monitor the front

either in a separate multicoupler with high and low tunable notches like

On the noise source, make a roughly 1 foor diameter shielded loop and use
it to DF the source, either with a portable receiver or preamp, BPF, and
'scope.
A shielded current probe, made of a long, skinny rectangle is useful for
looking for EMI currents on conductors.

Ohh, that's very easy to determine: Loop Head does not exist.
Due to local resistance, that station never happened as planned,
Interesting.
I looked at google maps and it sure looks like a LORAN C antenna at
Loophead.
Further the Irish gov lighthouse commission has info on it. Cost to operate
it health risks...
So I think it was built. But not sure it matters or not. I get a signal from
that chain.
Just curious on the roug

As to loop head a comment.Very very dumb. They could of had a great freq
reference. :-)
So is Faroe the closest to the US then?
Though I can just get the 6731 chain. It never really goes to settle like
90070 does.

Interesting all of the pictures are of the 19KC vlf antenna. No LORAN
antenna.

Thats what I had seen. It looks like a loran tower while anthorn looks like
a 19 KC VLF antenna. Could I be picking up eloran. Here is the reason. I
lock on and sometime later I get a blink indicator.
Blinks are associated with a non compliant station or chain.
Just kind of wondering it would expla
