Default The FAA is marching toward sole dependence on GPS.

Well, let me put it this way. It isn't in any of the FAA's NexGen
performance-based nav systems plans.

No, Sam....LEGACY loran sucks. Enhanced loran (which will require new
receivers/antennas to utilize its GPS-equivalent accuracy) is right
around the corner. A new eLoran station has recently been put on the air
in the UK, and the Coast Guard is well on the way to upgrading its whole
system. Go to www.loran.org and start following links. www.crossrate.com
is another useful site.

And LORAN sucks and does not work in much of the world.
