Yes. I thought it criminally stupid when the US shut down its LORAN service. I thought that Galileo, with its eLORAN backup and distribution of WAAS data, was brilliant. For aviation the US kept its antiquated network of VORs and discarded LORAN, even though the annual maintenance and operation costs were about the same for both. And LORAN provides more accurate positioning than VOR (but not DME-DME and no one bothers to use DME-DME, go figure). -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 706 Flightline Drive Spring Branch, TX 78070 br...@lloyd.com +1.916.877.5067 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
