What is Loran-C?
Loran-C is a low frequency/long wave electronic position fixing system using radio signals transmissions @ 100 KHz from 3 or more transmitters, linked in a chain. It gives a latitude and longitude readout position to marine, aero and land receivers. It is transmitted via a vertical mast. The proposed mast at Loop Head is a key element of the Civil Northwest European Loran-C System.
