Simple TDoA techniques are useful for direction finding on
non-ionospheric propagation modes, but TDoA-only DF techniques
are very unreliable for ionospherically propagated signals
A recent example is the intruder that was continuously active on
14.000 MHz for several days. Operators on the Kiwi TDoA
network were convinced that the intruder was definitely located in
Indiana. The Kiwi DF network was off by more than 1000 miles...
An informal network of hams using simple 20 meter Yagi
was much more accurate.

Subject: Topband: Locating Problem Signals
If I remember correctly, there have been requests here for folks to listen
to an offending signal so its location can be determined.
There is a fairly inexpensive way to accomplish this task using a ~$200
"0-to-30MHz SDR" called "Kiwi". One of its operating modes includes TDoA
measurements using multiple Kiwi's located around the USA/world.
