Oh well. It was nice having a backup system to GPS, but it looks like
it's dead.
I think it was Clinton who tried to dump it before but it was retained due
to an overwhelming protest by the military, commercial transportation
operations and the general boating/aviation public.

GPS can be jammed. LORAN is much more difficult to jam. I've used both
and although GPS is very good, I always liked the reliability of LORAN.

Damn, there used to be spectacular quail hunting near the LORAN station
south of Searchlight, Nevada. If they take it out, I won't be able to go
quail hunting there any more.
