Default Apollo 800 Flybudy Loran wanted

Does anybody know when or even if the Loran system is going to be
terminated? I once understood it to be sometime in 2006 but that was
before 9-11. I have had discussions since then with aviation officials
who noted that the Loran system is not as easily messed with since its
combination of low carrier frequency, considerable signal strength, and
substantial ground anntenna make it so robust.

The GPS system signals are apparently much more easily spoofed with
portable equipment - which had been available from former Iron Curtain
militaries.

As a backup system it would seem that the need for Loran hasn't gone
away.

I too like my Flybuddy.
