Actually, I recall somebody mentioning that to me, it may have been
Dave Mills long time ago when I worked on his LORAN-C receiver.


I can't remember exactly what he said though, but it was probably
in an email so given time to trawl my mail-archive I might be able
to find it.  He's also still alive so he can be asked, but his
eyesight is very very bad, and I doubt he reads emails any more.

(Dave Mills was intimately involved in Loran-C, and he's the brain
behind the 16-pulse "tactical" Loran-C during the vietnam war.)
