Instead of your SDR it might be smarter to use either a digital
oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer.

You will need a frequency of *exactly* 1/0.089700 us = 11.14827201... Hz.
(HP5359A's are *great* for this, but most DDS sig-gens will work too.

You use this to signal to trigger your scope/spectrum analyzer, feed the
antenna signal to the input and select averaging mode.

If you have a really good antenna signal and a scope/spec-an with high
X-resolution, you can halve the sync frequency and, so that the pulse
polarity does not cancel out about half the loran pulses.
