LORAN is back!
It looks like the LORAN lobby has won, justified by about 850 to 50 votes. Be prepared for its revival in the form of eLORAN. Don't kid yourselves that old LORAN receivers can be used with eLORAN, or that you won't have to buy new receivers to work with GPS and eLORAN together.
The LORAN lobby's next move (work in progress) is to make eLORAN mandatory Why? Well,
1) AIS is essential for homeland security and it isn't secure if it isn't protected by eLORAN - the world's only jam proof means of navigation, and
2) All us duffers can't navigate without GPS, so we need eLORAN to protect us.
3) To ensure the LORAN lobby get a market for their receivers.
