Loran-C service ends February 2010

The U.S. Coast Guard published notice regarding its intention to terminate transmission of the LORAN-C signal Feb. 8, 2010. There is no information from the Canadian government about Loran service, so boaters should stop using Loran navigation equipment. [www.navcen.uscg.gov/Loran]
