🔍 Key Concepts

• LORAN chain structure (master and secondary/slave stations) • Who sends the initial RF pulse in a LORAN chain • Whether multiple slave/secondary stations are required for operation

💭 Think About

• In a LORAN chain, which station controls the timing and starts the transmission sequence? • What is the role of the slave (secondary) station compared to the master — does it initiate, or does it respond? • Can a LORAN position fix be made with only one secondary/slave station, or are multiple required?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which station originates the RF pulse sequence in a LORAN chain • Confirm whether a single master–single slave setup can provide useful information, or if multiple slaves are mandatory • Make sure the description of how the RF pulse travels and is received is technically accurate for LORAN systems
