Default LORAN here to stay? Maybe.

About 4 years ago, my industry (Marine) "sources" started saying that we
should not count Loran out, and that plans were beginning to be
formulated to update/upgrade the system.
To be honest, my reaction, though positive, was not too optimistic.
It's nice to read that this is still being considered, though if it does
come to pass, I would also hope that they figure out how to increase
range and coverage.
Only a fool goes offshore/deepsea for extended voyages, with one single
navigation method available ..... and six GPS receivers does not mean
you have six methods, only that you have 5 backups for one method, maybe.
