[time-nuts] Loran transmitters back on the air.

[Chuck Harris]

In my experience, Loran C will get you into a foot ball field
sized area of where you are going, day or nite, rain or shine.

The big difference is Loran C needs a more substantial antenna
than does GPS.  I don't think you will be finding a reliable
Loran C receiver in a smart phone.
