Yo Gary!

That's really not completely fair.

The LORAN decommissioning was on the books for a lot longer than the current administratoin. It'd been on life support for as long as I can remember (my first GPS project, Cows In Space, Motorola OnCore receivers... the original ones...) went that way because we weren't sure we could get LORAN signal long enough to complete the project. ca., 1994. Subsequent administrations have been stringing it along to satisfy isolated constituents. When SA was decommissioned, it was time to pull the plug on the respirator... Of course, I still find the occasional Cessna with a Loran-C receiver in it, and the occasional pilot who still tries to use it for navigation!

No need for the Loran-C or Omega.  Obama bulldozed the Loran antennas
to save $50M a year, and squash eLoran before it is born.  Almost a
criminal act.  Omega shut down in 1997.
