Seems they did have a Decca chain set up in the New York area for use by the New York Airways Helicopter Service. It was also later used by the FAA for trials.
Interesting to read about the fate of Decca in the US and some reasons why it was not adopted.
Here is a link to google books who have a 1960 New Scientist on archive.
