In 1983 we were testing Loran for a vehicle tracking application. We had a van with a Loran aviation antenna mounted on the roof and a relatively inexpensive marine Loran receiver.
We started with an informal test. This was miles inland, about an hour's drive North of Detroit, Michigan. We parked on the shoulder of the road, beside a wooden post. I wrote down the latitude and longitude. My supervisor then drove the van a mile away. Then I looked at the Loran readout while he drove the same road. I only looked at the display, while giving him verbal instructions to slow down, slow down more, and finally I said, "Stop!" Dick said, "You're not going to believe this." I looked up and right outside my window was the same post! On 03/01/2012 11:26 PM, Hal Murray wrote:
What sort of accuracy can I expect from a Loran type system?
