Well indeed interesting updates to the ppt. Most of it is the same as the earlier decks I have seen so far. Though what I did find interesting is they now mention navigation and not just PNT. I will guess with the 4 site senario they are back in the navigation business. There is also a small note on one slide the coast guard has no interest in supporting this. I think thats with respect to maintaining the sites. Someones going to have to pay to stabilize those massive lightning arresters.
As to the monopoly thats been a thread that's run its course about wwvbs new phase modulation. I will say this as I have listened to the actual signal it is there but not as loud as I seem to recall. Also I imagine I am hearing almost a continuous GRI as if the whole period is used. No real gaps. Would need to actually look at the signal with a scope. Signal levels are good so I can't complain and the rcvrs are happy. This has been the longest I have had lfphoenix in a number of years. Sure hope that it will stick around in a usable fashion. If it does I really need to explore a better antenna. I am using the classic boat antenna and preamp. I will believe a loop antenna that has a low Q might be quite useful. Comments appreciated.
