[Lowfer] Fewer Loran Lines

I decided to check my own question and setup my Loran receiver.  I am 
using my receive loop which in the past has received too much 100 kHz 
energy from the Seneca transmitter.
It receives the Canadian chain GRI-5930 with what looks like good SNR 
numbers and it says that it is tracking, but shows my location as in 
Canada about 30 miles east of Detroit.
I then set it to the Newfoundland station GRI-7270 and it shows pretty 
near the correct position, within a mile or so.
