Thanks for the great description! I hadn't even been aware of the existance of NNSS, though in the mid 1980s, I'd looked at LORAN-C for a…
Thanks for the L band sharing !
Over the years, I've been pretty vocal about wanting on-board RTCs, with at least the possibility of connecting something like a coin…
