[time-nuts] Loran, GPS, Lightning, Timing

[Max Robinson]

I find that very puzzling.  I was a subscriber to QST from some time in 1957 
until into the 1960s.  I didn't have a subscription to Scientific American 
so I couldn't have confused them.  I suppose the article has been lost or 
somehow escaped being entered into the searchable database.

Regards.
