Fellow time-nuts,

I find myself getting involved in things, working with many, on this
project. Here's a good reading start up thanks to good cooperation with
Dana Goward.

Notice the link to the EC-JRC and DG DEFIS material, follow and read
more there.

Cheers,
Magnus

Somebody should persuade Lin-Manuel Miranda to write a "We dont talk about Loran" song :-)

Well, these days you use AI tools to do that.

Loran is falling more and more behind in focus. By not speaking about
it, it becomes less of an alternative. The white rabbit ate it with a
cup of tea.

Cheers,

Not talking about Loran got serious back when the first draft European
Radio Navigation Plan concluded that spending less than 10% of the
money on Loran-C would provide 40% of the possible benefits.

That was not the answer EC needed to justify pouring tons of tax-payer
money into Galileo.

A significant part of the 40% were that Loran-C works almost
everywhere, including remote islands, sea-marks - places the White
rabit will never reach.

As y'all know, GPS jamming is easy. We need to have an alternative.
