It seems like the biggest problem for Loran-C is that they have not been
able to build an economical model to support it. That it complements the
GPS and GLONASS systems, as well as GALILEO in a somewhat different mode
disturbance is a technical detail which doesn't ripple though the reports.

The russians dont seems to happy with the loss of LORAN, specialy when
aurora borealis makes satelite based navigation next to useless.
The stations in Norway have been due to shutdowns before, probably in 2007
or 2008, but then several of the other countries intervened.
In my opinion, they are giving away navigational security for dimes. Try
using a sixtant when the sun don't go above the horizon for several months
in the wintertime.
Poul-Henning: I can confirm that Russian Chayka station is still on the air.

Yeah, but you need 3 transmitters and if norway and france
closes there is *at best* Anthorn and Sylt left.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
