[Milsurplus] LORAN is Back!

[jmfranke]

The publication in the federal register, here

    http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-01-11/html/2012-307.htm

says they are playing with more than Loran.  There are
several MF bands they are playing with as well, in particular
the dGPS bands and 500 kHz.

I noticed a while ago that UrsaNav's UN-151 receiver was advertised
as being "capable of processing multiple signals in the LF and MF bands",
and wondered what the "MF" part was about.  That is a bit clearer now.
