If you have a Loran C receiver on your boat which you use for navigation you have exactly on more month to use it before it will be useless.
The USCG have just announced that as part of cost cutting exercises the LORAN transmitters will cease functioning after February 8th.
The press release is brief which you can read here but it seems that the government seems to feel that with so many people now using GPS the Loran chains are now superfluous. I would be interested to hear what On Board readers think.
