Skip the test should not be ended until next year. This is the longest run
I have seen. Over 6 months.
There are folk in Canada who have lock and as far as Indianna.
I can't say that I have had a lock yet. Certainly the 2100 seems to be
seeing something.
Another time nut down south may have had lock he is now starting to chart
the the tracking LED. Though I am not sure about how that can work. Don't
believe it comes out. The RF carrier does come out to alarm terminals.
Anyhow seems some people do get something.
Regards
Paul

Hello to the group.
The display actually shows that no master is being transmitted
no 10th pulse. The 9th pulse is actually the data channel and note only one
site is transmitting data. I have found the secondaries are the best chance
to get anything. With humor because there are no masters!
That explains that.
Good luck.

I'm trying my best to receive it in Charlotte, NC., though I realize it's probably a fool's errand.  I have an Austron 2100 T with loop antenna.  I've seen a green tracking light twice in the last few weeks.  I'm trying to set up some monitoring with a virtual chart recorder to see if it might actually be locking occasionally.  My 2100T has a GPIB interface so might see if it could be used to catch an occasional intermittent lock.  I'm not expecting much, but it's fun to try.

I recommissioned my SRS FS700 (Option 1 unit) several days ago. It has been locked continuously for 84 hours (no unlocks reported).  It is locked one of the slave stations as it also reports that there is no master station.  At the moment  frequency difference with the reference (GPS,  Z3801) is 2E-11 .  At this point I think I will put it in a rack with the Austron 2100F and let them run (why not?).

I did note that the FS700 took much longer (45min - 1 hour) to achieve lock than did the Austrons (2100F, 2100R).  My antenna is an LF engineering L-400B with about 16dB of attenuation in the line to get the best s/n.  I am using the 420 ohm resistor hack to make  the FS700 believe it is feeding an active antenna.

With the changing geopolitical climate perhaps eLORAN will be here to stay.

For what it’s worth

I tuned my ham transceiver (unlocked icom 7610) to 100 kHz, with an 80-10 inverted V at 15 meters (outside of Portland OR).  And to my surprise there are S9 pulses that sound like a tiny jackhammer.  Wow!

Other than buying a 20th century legacy dedicated device to decode, are there any newer (SDR) suggestions?  I have RPi and RSPn

Thanks,
