[Lowfer] Loran Location

[Stewart Nelson]

Hi Larry and all,

Another source of LORAN data is Megapulse.  The
table is gone from their site, but a copy of
Google's cached copy is at
http://www.scgroup.com/ham/lorantable.html .

You can click on a chain, and see the station
locations on a map (these are still on the
Megapulse site, go figure).  For example,
http://www.megapulse.com/pix/chain/9960.gif .

It appears that Seneca is the likely culprit.
As John pointed out, you can narrow down the
possibilities by seeing if you have a line
at 137781.4939 .  If so, it must be Seneca
or Dana; the latter seems unlikely because
it is about 587 miles away, Seneca is only
about 249.

73,

Stewart KK7KA
