How do we get UTC?
Loran Data Channel (LDC) transmits a UTC message
LDC is key differentiator between Loran-C and eLoran
Aligns the 1pps close to UTC
– Error due to Additional Secondary Factor (ASF)
– Dependent on land path and seasonal conditions
– A few microseconds
– Fixed with low seasonal variations (100ns)
Can be calibrated out
Either at installation or automatically

eLoran Differential Timing Rx
eLoran Differential Timing Receiver – EDTR
Measures ASF and establishes Local Time Error
Enables UTC alignment to a few 10s of ns
Sends Local Time Error to eLoran Transmitter to
broadcast on the LDC
UTC corrections can now be received indoors
Local eLoran Rx with no sky view are now UTC
aligned to G.8272 PRTC

Loran Data Channel
Eurofix Message Format ver 2.15
– Radio Technical Committee for Maritime
Services (RTCM) Special Committee-104,
Eurofix working group, and the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU)
Recommendation M.589-3
16 “Message Types” can be broadcast
– Message Type 6 is the Eurofix Message
– Rough correction to UTC
– Message Type 13 is now allocated for Chronos
for Local Time Error correction research

Why not GNSS alone for timing?
Can be jammed and spoofed
Does not work inside buildings
Does not work underground
Does not work underwater
eLoran/GNSS only solution for Resilient PNT
Chronos researching eLoran/GNSS/PTP
True resiliency - multiple dissimilar PNT sources
Two out of three ain’t bad
