It appears from

that Loran-C is likely to discontinue operation on Jan 4, 2010, so
there may be no point in keeping a Loran-C receiver.

I hadn't realized that it might go away that quickly, don't think too
many people are going to miss it however. I get a chuckle from
people claiming that the GPS system is prone to interference. They
obviously never tried navigating with Loran on a dark and stormy night
when the lightning is crashing around you.
