Does anyone know if they are using original antennas for chains that existed during the heyday of LORAN C?
I remember driving past the tower at the Seneca Army Depot in Romulus, NY , and I was in awe of the size of the tower. I know the Coast Guard, then Homeland Security had control of the site. I am not sure if the tower is still there since some of the sites were decommissioned. I was wondering if they will be using the Master/Slave system, or do they have a new way to triangulate? I know the worry of GPS jamming has caused a lot of worry. I was wondering if cell sites that absolutely need super accurate timing will have LORAN as a backup timing source? I know if they lose GPS, they lose their ability to hand off to adjacent working cells (Island Cell Effect?).
