I think it's more a case of getting some cash in for Rugby over the next 2 years whilst they have to keep it going to complete the MSF 60kHz contract. It is the worst news I have heard for LF in the UK, it will kill the band... I know, I have tried to operate from Guernsey which is a similar distance from Lessay...

Looks like it's strategic.  Look at
http://www.loran.org/library/AvionicsPerspectivesAugust.pdf
and other articles on the same site.

Wonder if this is what they want 73KHz back for?

How diffiicult would it be to make a Loran gate to put in front of theRX?
After all the station is fixed so you must, in principle, know when the
pulses are due.

    Bad news is often a different spin!
I wish to hell this organisation ( in which I own stock) would get
    its corporate act together.
    In a recent article written up in a prestigious professional
    journal for managerial people, BT were being quoted as
    concentrating their efforts on the conversion of their many and
    varied interests in a myriad of disparate networking technologies
    into a largely IP-based offering of services in a global
    marketplace. What with GPS, GLONAST and (soon to be) Galileo (the
    European version of GPS), what on earth are they hoping to gain
    and where is the commercial advantage. Or, am I missing a trick
    here? Is it just possible that LF has a commercial  or strategic
    value we are not informed about! I think we should be told.
