Loran C
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? |

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. |

I scanned back several pages, and it didn't show up. I did find it, though. |

One of the programs that save .00001% while the rest of the "unwasteful" programs like studying gay Venezuelan bars chug on. |

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. The Commercial Fishermen I referred to, are the Great Lakes Fishermen. No dragging, and seine nets up here. |

Just wondering. What does a good LORAN unit cost vs. GPS? Good question. You probably won't find a new one as I don't believe they are made anymore. I could be wrong on that though. I have a couple of newer Raytheon units that still work and I'm hanging on to them. |
