Been a few years for flying and sailing for me, but is LORAN still in use?
The loran may still be used for navigation, but I have had no problem using my I phone GPS on the Tennessee River System with my small sailboat and it does fine describing my locations with graphic pictures and landmarks..
Pretty sure it was taken down. I recall one station in ME(?) failing in the 1990s, and with GPS accuracy surging, the cost/benefit of repairing and maintaining LORAN was no longer justifiable.
You are better off than I am. My time was about 50 years ago now. We used it to locate our LST, but the OX and 1st class quartermaster took morning and evening fixes when they could to confirm where we were. My most clear memory of it was that it positioned us 50 miles closer to Okinawa than we actually were as we approached from the North. It was nice that the error was not in the other direction.
Why would one use the ancient LORAN technology when there is GPS available.
