US Coast Guard Axes Loran-C
At 2000 UTC on 8 Feb, 2010, LORAN (LOng RAnge Navigation) is dead in the United States. It follows such other systems as Omega, DECCA, and Hyperfix into post-GPS oblivion.
This happened rather quickly, being published in the Federal Register only 10 days ago. It is not much of a surprise, though.
From USCG:
More in the April Utility World.
This happened rather quickly, being published in the Federal Register only 10 days ago. It is not much of a surprise, though.
From USCG:
*** Special Notice Regarding LORAN Closure: ***
In accordance with the DHS Appropriations Act, the U.S. Coast Guard will terminate the transmission of all U.S. LORAN-C signals effective 2000Z 08 Feb 2010. At that time, the U.S. LORAN-C signal will be unusable and permanently discontinued. This termination does not affect U.S. participation in the Russian American or Canadian LORAN-C chains. U.S. participation in these chains will continue temporarily in accordance with international agreements. You may read more and download pertinent documents via our LORAN-C page.

Weak signals, can't tell much, and another net uses this frequency, but there has been activity related to the earthquake.
Health and welfare requests are starting to pile up. Internet has answered a few of these, but it's hard to find people.

Right now the SATERN night frequency of 3977.7 LSB has traffic pertaining to the Haiti earthquake.
Still No H&W via Amateur
The capability is not in place to answer health and welfare requests, and will not be for quite some time. Typically, rescue and logistics come first.
There is a form available on satern.org for this purpose, or people can try the US State Department at (1) 888-407-4747. Expect it to be quite backed up.

Active region 1040, a Cycle 24 spot, has rotated into position to affect Earth. Daily uncorrected solar flux has risen above 90 for the first time in quite a while.

JFX Kagoshima QSL'd in SoCal
Martin Foltz has received an e-QSL from JFX, Kagashima Fishing Radio Station, for a fax fishery chart received at 1500 UTC. This transmission has also been received here, though usually too weak to make much out.
This brings the number of confirmed Japanese fishery radio fax stations received on the US Pacific Coast to four:
JFC Misaki, Kanagawa Prefecture
JFW Fukushima Prefecture
JFX Kagoshima Prefecture
JSC Kagoshima Prefecture (Kyodo News).
JSC uses the old JJC Kyodo frequency of 16971 kHz USB. The others use the common Japanese Fishery Radio frequencies of 6414.5, 8658.0, 16907.5, and 22559.6 kHz USB. As always, FAX dial frequencies are around 1.9 kHz lower than these assigned channel centers.
