LORAN C Field Strength Contours: Contiguous United States

Abstract

This report describes the development of Loran C field strength contour plots for the contiguous United States (CONUS). Various plots were developed which show Loran C field strength based on measured data, predicted data, and measured data augmented by predicted data. Measured data were taken from a data base formerly developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center at the Atlantic City International Airport, NJ. Predicted data were generated by the Canadian Loran C propagation model. Field strength contour plots of the CONUS are a result of this project. This report concludes that the contours produced are realistic indicators of Loran C field strength for each of the Conus transmitters. Also included in this report are atmospheric noise contours of the CONUS and Loran C coverage contours of the CONUS.
