Being urged? This is from the President of the International Loran
Association, and as you will note there has been an enhanced loran station
at Rugby since 2005:

August, 2005
Dear colleagues,
As I believe most are aware, Loran continues to make positive progress
around the globe. France held a GNSSLoran
User Information Day in July, the new transmitter in Rugby, England is now
operational, the US Congress
will continue funding the eLoran modernization program in FY2006, and new
roles are being explored for eLoran
(e.g. as a backup to automatic dependence surveillance - broadcast systems
for aviation, or ADS-B).
With this backdrop, the ILA's 34th Annual Convention and Technical Symposium
is approaching. I would like
to take this opportunity to remind people to make plans to attend and
present new information at this important
international forum. The conference will be held on the California coast in
beautiful Santa Barbara, and will
include presentations from Europe, Asia, North America, and Russia. Please
see details at www.loran.org and make
your reservations early.
As we move into an era where eLoran is widely acknowledged as a necessary -
and the best - multimodal complement
to GNSS, your interest and participation in ILA34 is vital. I look forward
to a terrific meeting and seeing
all of you in Santa Barbara.
Best regards,
G. Linn Roth, Ph.D., FRIN
President

The government is being urged to invest in a radio system developed
during the Second World War, as a back-up to GPS satellite navigation.

Loran is less vulnerable to jamming than GPS and could protect vital
infrastructure after a terror attack, a committee of MPs was told.
