had a sailboat in the 80s and 90s, used a West Marine LORAN receiver and
antenna... easily got better than 100' accuracy and repeatability, year
after year. we went to the same anchor holes all the time, took angular
sights to confirm the LORAN. loved it. never had a GPS until after the
turn of the century... 2002 maybe? Cliff K6CLS
