This is probably a stupid question for most fishermen but I just got my boat out and attached my Impulse and firedt up the lorraine, but all it says is "looking for signal". I'm wondering if they fianally took down the towers and no longer available or what???

Yep, The Coast Guard has finally shut off LORAN completely. Everyone can now dig out their old LORAN units, Couplers and Antennas and fill the dumpsters. I shed a little tear as stuff that went for close to a grand new, went for a ride with Waste Mgmt.

The Coast Guard published a Federal Register notice on Jan. 7, 2010, regarding its intention to terminate transmission of the LORAN-C signal Feb. 8, 2010. A LORAN Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement Record of Decision stating that the environmentally preferred alternative is to decommission the LORAN-C Program and terminate the North American LORAN-C signal was published in the Federal Register on Jan. 7, 2010.
