I'm on the west coast [near Sacramento] and about 120 miles from the 
XRAY-9940 LORAN-C station at Middletown CA, and about 190 miles from the 
Master-9940 at Fallon NV.  Both run 400KW peak [I think].  That's about 
all I can hear anywhere from below 100 KHz to 400 KHz or so with my 
Palomar VLF converter, the signals are huge. Maybe I need a different 
VLF box.
