I heard a rumour the US Military want to end the use of Loran on
waterways. They want us all to revert to GPS based systems. They say
they're easier to jam.......
I can see a real stink coming from the Commercial Fishermen, and
anyone else who uses it.
Anyone else hear this?
Yesterday's news. Obambi is killing the LORAN program because it's
"wasteful".
We had a discussion on it yesterday.
Search for "The End of Loran" by Eisboch.
Ooooops. I scanned back several pages, and it didn't show up. I did
find it, though.
You and eisboch were dead on right. I just downloaded the messages
from an email list I'm on for New England Fisheries Management Council
and the commercial guys are ****ed off and not in a nice way either -
salty language galore. :)
Surprized the hell out of me - apparently a lot of the commerical guys
still use LORAN-C to find their honey holes.
Learn something new every day. I know a lot of the charter guys have
translated their loran data to GPS, but apparently not the commecial
draggers and seiners.
