[time-nuts] The Demise of LORAN (was Re: Reference oscillator accuracy)

[Dave M]

I've read and heard from this forum as well as a number of other sources 
that GPS can be easily jammed.  What makes GPS so vulnerable?  How can it be 
jammed?

AOPA is pushing congress to repristinate funding for LORAN. General
aviation is probably the heaviest user on this Nav system. The
aviation user community would love to see Nav systems with integrated
LORAN and GPS capabilty, but the industry has done little in this
area, due to lack of government commitment to LORAN. The FAA knows the
GPS can be easily jammed, but has done nothing do push LORAN as the
GPS backup system.
