Anybody have a source?

The Coast Guard ran the Loran A and C programs along with the DGPS. Maybe they can help.

Been a few years for flying and sailing for me, but is LORAN still in use?

[damper99]

It’s dead, Jim.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Loran was shut down in 2010.

There should be an alternative to GPS other than a sextant.

I was of the understanding that LORAN was no longer in use. I may be wrong, but...

[kaehurowing]

LORAN?

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.

There has been chatter about bringing LORAN back for about 6 years.
There are GPS outages, and some have been major, including one this year that caused some airline delays.

Just a handful f stations would provide the needed offshore capability. But wth government contracting, the cost could be huge.

[IndispensableDestiny]

Not much is happening with eLORAN right now. I suspect when Navy ships start running into each other, it will pick up. But only after determining that the collisions are not caused by watch officers not on speaking terms with each other.

I took my sailboat up a river to a lake in FL and the lake had a bunch of old pilings, some submerged by a foot and a little handheld Garmin 76 accurately told me where the pilings were.
