What are Utilities? I notice this in M.T. magazine. Is this a frq that you
could tune into on SW? And can LORAN be picked up on SW?

Utilities or 'Utes' are basically any shortwave signal which does not
emanate from the transmitter of an international (progamming)
broadcaster or amateur radio 'ham'. This includes data transmissions,
military communications, ship to shore, transoceanic aircraft and
continuous time stations.
LORAN is no longer transmitted on shortwave. It was replaced by GPS
which is much more accurate.
