[Milsurplus] Naval Aviation Navigation

[Greg Werstiuk]

At one time, I read a fairly detailed explanation of this system but I can't
find the source.  It was interesting but not something of which I decided to
keep a copy.

I was thinking the notes I archived and had at my fingertips came from posts
you provided some time ago.

Without being able to point to a reliable reference source, I'll concede I
may be incorrect about the transmission period.
