Or go to the US Coast Guard site, which for some reason....
That is because....
The USCG maintains the very first navigation equipment (transmitters) used for area navigation...LORAN.
Loran C now...Loran A, many years ago.
Very accurate, if used properly....and with Loran A, it took a definite technique, ofter mastered only by the professional Navigator.
