Hi

There’s a lot of data on Loran propagation from “back in the day”. Start digging in around 1960 or so and you should turn up a number of papers. Propagation for eLoran is no different than the good old Loran-C signals. 

Simple answer: Back when we used it for timing, you picked a time of day. You looked at things “at that time” each day. The same “pick a time of day" was true for WWVB. The main advantage for Loran was more stations ment you might be able to find a shorter path from you to the station you used. Something around midnight or noon generally were popular choices for “that time”.
