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
