"RB" wrote in : Does the length of a LORAN metal whip matter much? Yes, it matters a lot. Loran operates at 100 Khz, Very Low Frequency. The antennas are heavily coil loaded to tune them at this low a frequency and very narrow banded. The whip length is part of this tuning and if you change it to a different length the antenna is way out of tune and not near as sensitive. It may still function out of tune, but signals will be down. That's about the same frequency as my sextant works on. |
