[Lowfer] East Coast version of WWVB?

[Stan]

Hello The Net:

It does beg the question of where it may be placed.

Could be co located at a LORAN-C secondary or master site. After all, 
they have an antenna that could be loaded up at 40 KHz.
They already have a Cs reference for accurate timing, as well as a 
government facility with security, electrical power sources,
as well as a pool of qualified labor to keep it running.

Probably not, 2 gov agencies cooperating, low likelyhood....

Probably best in the Virginia area or Eastern Maryland. Maybe at another 
Gov site.

Otis on Cape Cod could support it, I always wanted a job I could walk to 
or bicycle to.
I could always be a janitor, keeping the signals clean..
We already have the Coast Guards largest HF antenna site and a ~517 KHz, 
NAVTEX site

Possibly that Navy site near Pennobscot Bay, but maybe not, it is a 
LORAN receiving site
Maybe at the big HF site in Moscow Maine, probably all overgrown by now.

Still thinking.....
