[Lowfer] Question...

Hi John, Mike,

Yes, the lines are a composite of the differing sites;  maybe a crossed-loop 
differential technique such as Marcus DF2NM and Wolf DL4YHF developed  -  
whereby signals from different directions get displayed as different colours on the 
plot  - could help sort out what Loran components are instantaneously 
significant.

Could also be groovily psychedelic.

        Cheers,

                Steve
