I'm amused when I run across a guy who speaks nostalgically about Loran. He's thinking of a compact little navigation box with a "Direct to" button on it, but it conjures up memories of a big black box with a little screen which was essentially an oscilloscope (can't remember the Navy nomenclature). It also conjures up bad memories of trying to decide if I was looking at a 1 hop or 2 hop in all the "grass" as the sun was just starting to come up.
Sometimes we were lucky to get a single LOP from the LORAN and cross it with a sun shot.
Always carry a DR plot!
What would we have thought if someone had a working handheld GPS back then.
Witchcraft!
