OK, then, go to www.avionicsmagazine.com, June 2004 issue, and see the
future. My point is that within a few years, enhanced loran will be
available when GPS is not.

What is enhanced Loran? I've used the old Loran for years and have
developed a healthy distrust of its accuracy. It is handy and easy to
use, but I always want something to prove it's correct.

Multipathing, atmospherics, signal failure, complete loss of
navigation from the loran, 2 miles changes in position when changing
chains, and one time it had me at the wrong airport 20 miles from the
desired one. When I headed for home 2 hours later it still was
figuring I was in the wrong place. About 5 miles after I started
south it did a reset and low and behold, I was not back on course.

Google "eurofix" to get a glimpse of the future.

Interesting, though it doesn't appear to have been updated for three years
(including the "live" test data)!
