Bill Introduced in Senate Recommending US Coast Guard Maintain LORAN-C Navigation Sys

[ARRL]

Members of the Senate's Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee have introduced a bill, S 1194 -- Coast Guard Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011 -- that, if passed, would require that the US Coast Guard "maintain the LORAN-C navigation system until such time as the Secretary is authorized by statute, explicitly referencing this section, to cease operating the system but expedite modernization projects necessary for transition to eLORAN technology."

LORAN Rocks. Works, too... Many, many times I have navigated all about the East Coast prior to Civilian GPS becoming affordable with the aid of LORAN.

I'll be interested in "new" twists on LORAN tech.
