[time-nuts] LORAN-C reception in the UK

[Björn]

I think Denmark will also cease operation of their one station in line with Norway and France. 

What is the plan for Germany and the UK - not enough stations for a full chain? New  controlling station - since Lessay leaves?

“Both Norway and France have declared an intention to cease Loran
transmissions at the end of 2015. Moreover, France intends to dismantle its
Loran infrastructure in 2016. Arrangements for the commercial operation of
the infrastructure are being investigated, but this depends on some form of
regional agreement. The European Union appears to have no policy for
resilient PNT, the European Radio Navigation Plan having twice been drafted
but never published. The view seems to bee that the introduction of Galileo
will achieve resilient PNT, which it will not.”
