Craig, Steve,
Yes, there should be lines corresponding to that GRI.
I saw a line above MP's signal last week, which would correspond to an
8970 line. Never thought to chase it down, though. After I saw your
posts this afternoon, I went down to look, and was greeted with the
growly AC noise that has covered everything here for a couple of days.
That noise shut down around 2250Z, but no line was visible. So I tuned
down to 100 kHz, and the E-Loran station was off the air. Am guessing
that this present operation may be a daylight thing...perhaps just on
weekdays. Will check tomorrow.
In any case, an east coast Loran station won't produce enough harmonic
energy to be useful way out west.
John, W1TAG
