Hi

There are multiple European chains running that can be picked up from the
US. They all are in the skywave zone distance wise.

Subject: Re: [time-nuts] eLoran announcement in the UK

Do you have any idea of the transmitter power/antenna gain?

The relatively low power of the UK 60 kHz is strong enough to interfere w/
WWVB in MA, so I'm wondering if the UK eLORAN might be usably strong.
