Extended operation of Loran-C at the Norwegian stations

The Government will continue the operation of the four Norwegian Loran-C 
stations, Værlandet (Askvoll Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane), Bø in 
Vesterålen (Nordland), Berlevåg (Finnmark), and Jan Mayen, in 2006. The 
reason for this is the renewed interest in this terrestrial navigation 
system in Europe. (09.12.05)

Denmark have decided to continue the operation of the Danish Loran-C station 
at Ejde.

Germany’s decision to discontinue the operation of its LORAN C station Sylt 
remains unchanged.
However, the station Sylt will not, as originally planned, be switched off 
on 3 January 2006, but the operation will be continued until the measures 
required for the conversion of the time synchronisation have been carried 
out. It is expected that these measures will take about 4 to 5 weeks.
It cannot yet be predicted whether the station Sylt will be reactivated at a 
later time in a different provider organization. This depends on whether it 
will be possible to find a binding and sustainable new concept for LORAN C 
applying to all of Europe
