RIP Bill, I will miss our technical discussions.
Had been planning to take you up on your offer to visit the NH facility
to discuss modern concepts of energy efficiency.

Experimental LORAN-C signals are sporadically on.
My FS700 receiver can find them at 89700 microsecond GRI,
coming from the master station in Dana, Indiana and the slave in Seneca, NY.

There are also reports of the former USCG engineering center in 
Wildwood, NJ
radiating Loran-C RF, but I know not the GRI. Not 99600 used in the old 
system.

Experimental with eLORAN and other modulation schemes.
Since it is experimental, continuous service is not guaranteed on 
weekends of after hours.
And the accuracy does not approach the Cs accuracy once achieved.

Give it a listen.
