Hey everyone!
over the winter I bought my first sailboat! (Oday25) It's a bit of a project, but that's a story for another time.
The boat has one of these Loran 797 receivers on it. Unfortunately, I am but a poor ignorant Millennial and I have no idea what this thing is!
Best I can tell, it's a radio navigation tool of some kind. I do have some knowledge of radio navigation in aviation (NDB's, VOR's and the like) but this seems a little different and I'd love to know more about it!
Googling "Loran 797" just brings up page after page of people trying to sell the dang things. Maybe that's an omen that I should leave it in the past.. but my curiosity is getting the better of me.
Thanks!
Wes.
