The use of Loran‐C transmissions for time and frequency synchronization has been discussed in a number of recent publications. This paper presents further developments of the techniques of relating Loran‐C times of transmission with the universal time‐coordinated (UTC) second. In addition, it reports on the current synchronization status of Loran‐C transmissions and outlines typical instrumentation configurations for use with long baseline experiments as well as for other applications.
