[time-nuts] eLORAN on the air for 30 days

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Given that the transmit end of these systems is actually the cheap. quick, and easy
part of it (even with GPS), not making a decision for years is a bad thing. The longer
they push out a system decision, the further out any sort of target use gets. Running
Loran with antiques in my or your basement does not count in this regard. What 
counts is putting it into any sort of infrastructure use. That will *only* happen if 
regulations require it. Even if they do, it’s a “several decades” sort of process
to make that all happen.

Bob
