Loran is technologically no longer useful, and it sure sounds awful on a receiver.

Technology is an amazing thing. I remember when LORAN-C was not only used for navigation, but for time synchronization for communications systems.

Now they use GPS for that. Wonder what happens if/when the GPS birds get flashed?
