Used LORAN-A with its oscilloscope and then LORAN-C with its huge chart of hyperbolic lines of position. Current LORAN-C is wonderfully easy, with its built-in computer. It is far more accurate than ADF/NDB and far more reliable. I'm a retired Navy P-3 navigator. Used LORAN-A with its oscilloscope and then LORAN-C with its huge chart of hyperbolic lines of position.

I found your site while trying to find out more about eLORAN. I'm the editor of a workplace safety magazine, Occupational Health & Safety.

I was told back then that LORAN was on the way out. I've been trying to find out what's been happening with the proposed closure of LORAN since then, so this is good info! I also recently interviewed a man who broke ground on one of the Coast Guard's first LORAN stations in Alaska during WWII. Interesting stuff!

It offers redundancy, something navigators always welcome. There is nothing to criticize, except, maybe, the use of the buzzword "e-navigation". In Europe "e-navigation" or "e-nav" stands for everything that has to do with controlling marine traffic to the extend that it is meaningless. Certainly a good development.
