I think I saw a Northstar M1 Loran listed on Ebay for $1. Apparently the
open market doesn't value LORAN so much either. Of course, I have one in
my plane. But I never use it.


On a long quiet XC segment I asked ZSE if they knew the LORAN GRI for
my area, because I had powered up my old LORAN and was not getting a
lock where I thought I should. At first he didn't know what I was talking
about, then he just didn't know the answer, and neither did anyone around
him.

I should look into getting a used GX55 to slide in place of it.
