<<Accuracy depends on how close you are to the original ground station. If you are right next to it, it is extremely accurate, as you move away, it becomes less accurate. But to reasonable (few microsec) accuracy, probably you could cover 1000 miles with each ground station. >>

But of course you can calibrate for that. RF travels at the speed of light (300,000 km/hr). So, you can account for the various distances to the transmitter. Can I get my name in the patent application?
