[time-nuts] Loran C returning to a station near you...

[David McGaw]

Loran-C had absolute accuracy to 500nS but repeatability much better, 
usually to about 20 meters position or 60 nS (if you mark the position 
of a buoy you can get back to it very closely).  eLoran is a significant 
improvement and appears to be able to get to 8 meters absolute position 
or about 25 nS timing.  Each transmitter would have its own cesium clock 
instead of the slaves relying on the master and propagation corrections 
would be cataloged and disseminated.
