LF: RE: Loran closure

Dear LF,

 

Here's a link to the US Navigation Center web-site, where there is an announcement of the cessation of US LORAN services.

Dear LF,

 

this evening, there were two good traces from Port Clarence here. Both ended around 19:50, so it looks like the Americans are really shutting down Loran-C. The east coast chains (5930 7270) are still on, probably because of Canadian participation. Caribou and Nantucket seem to be singlerated now as 9960 has not appeared with 5930.
