I find this interesting.
The military is also rekindling an interest in HF communications. It
seems that they are worried that satellite communications are vulnerable.
A story I heard was that one fellow (a ham and book reseller) spent 10
year buying up surplus Collins 5 kW transmitters from the government.
He had the warehouse space and equipment to handle heavy stuff.
Now there is a run on his stock by, guess who, the military.

Now this will be interesting. My -understanding- is that eLORAN is
backwards compatible with LORAN-C, (So an old LORAN receiver will
still receive the eLORAN signals, you just wont get the extra features
[low rate data transmissions, timing built in, rather than relying on
TOC etc])
Now if only they'd stop playing with Anthorn during the day at the
moment, I could do some more tests. Ah well, I'll get to it later,
it'll be cooler then anyway!
