I've done it. I've used math to obtain the data for a station pair. I'm going to sleep, then try another one, and report back.

For the coordinates, this is what I've done in the past for other stuff I've done. The quickest way that I can think of now, that lets you convert the coordinates per period ref system and check them against the scenery on the go, is using Google Maps. I just hope it works like this for everyone and is not depending on settings I am not aware of. 1. Open Google Maps and select the Satellite layer. 2. Type in the coordinates from loran-history.info in the search box of Maps. You can omit the degrees etc. signs and even the lat/lon letters, as long as you include a minus sign for south and west. Example: "33 23 21.57 -117 35 41.48" for the San Mateo station. 3. Hit Enter and there you go: beneath the search box are the coordinates fully formatted, both in D-M-S and decimal degrees and on the right is the exact location on recent aerial/sat imagery. These results can then easily be copy-pasted into Google Earth for a check with historic imagery, although in many cases that imagery will not go back far enough of course. In the San Mateo example, the ca. 1970 photo of the site does help and nicely confirms the exact location found in above steps. Hope this helps Erik
