[David]

Not the first time this has been mentioned but another confirmation of 
the GPS alternative and "eLoran stations to be rolled out across UK"

"/A navigation system resilient to GPS jamming will be installed along 
the south and east coast of the UK, it was announced today./

/Following approval by the Department for Transport, seven differential 
eLoran stations will be installed to provide alternative position, 
navigation and timing (PNT) information to ensure that ships equipped 
with eLoran receivers can navigate safely in the event of GPS failure in 
one of the busiest shipping regions in the world./

/The GPS signals most ships rely on are vulnerable to both deliberate 
and accidental jamming, which is causing increasing concern because of 
the wide availability of GPS jammers online for as little as £30 that 
are capable of causing complete outages across all receivers currently 
on the market./

/The rollout, led by the General Lighthouse Authorities (GLAs) of the UK 
and Ireland, is the first in the world to deploy this technology for 
shipping companies operating both passenger and cargo services./"

..... etc

(I've designed & built off air standards for 60kHz MSF, 198kHz BBC 
radio4 and GPS so it looks another project just added to the DO list)
