Most of the old timers are use to "running lines" along the loran charts. You can still get charts with the lines on them. Lot of guys here still chit chat on the radio about running the ### line.
Are the loran signals even being broad-casted anymore? I think that stopped.
I would avoid that technology (despite what the oldtimes say) and just do a loran chart look-up instead of installing out of date technology.
I remember when my dad had a radio direction finder on the boat, the thing was as large as desktop computer case and had a big rotating top to it, it required lots of space, big charts, pencils straight edges, and practice to get a ballpark of where you are via triangulation.
