Loran

With clippers in hand, assure me that Loran is dead; turned off; discontinued.

Even if it's still alive, why would you want it?

Snip.

It is still alive, but why would you want it? If you need a back up, buy a 2nd GPS. If you want even more back up, buy a 3rd GPS........................................

No longer alive in Canada and the US, but apparently alive in Mexico.

If it's dead and gone then I don't need the receiver, the antenna, the readout in the cockpit nor any of the connective wire. I have a particular fetish for removing unnecessary wire. Although the pictures in my other post doesn't seem to show it, much progress has been made.
