An interesting variation on the problem would be one in which the
receivers also received or derived some precise time signal, such as
GPS time, and the transmitter to be located transmitted a signal which
contained a precise time referenced to the same standard.

This turns out to provide a good location for the transmitter, I
believe.

But if you put GPS into the transmitter for the time signal why not just
have it get it's own position and transmit it, ala APRS locators?

(Shhhhhh! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.)

That, of course, is an elegant solution to the problem, but I didn't
consider it because it appeared to be outside the postulates given.
