Wildwood is a single transmitter and antenna. Not even a full power site. It was for testing. That said its key function is to distribute time frequency and messages. Not navigation. But evidently with a single tower navigation is possible. They are using advanced coding that seems to help the signal work well in buildings to a degree. But I am not an expert or anything like that on the navigation method. I can say the frequency stability was very good and with the coding even better.
I am just happy a LORAN transmitter is on the air with a HP 5071 on the other end. Good enough for my meager use.
