Default LORAN here to stay? Maybe.

Right here. Silliness. The vote is already in. LORAN is dead. Always was
dead when GPS came along. You can't support a local system as an
alternative to a global one. Stick to your guns Steve.... All those planes
and ships should have celestial capable crew on board. Won't actually help
anybody but it will provide employment to us old foggies who know how to use
a sextant. Sure LORAN could have been as good...and we also might have
learned to do an automatic job off stellar distances. Keep it up
Steve...you and OTN can end up the last of the true navigators..."We don't
know where we are...we don't know where we are going...but we have redundant
manual systems that may, (or may not) tell us where we are."

Go for it Stevel
