Transit and Satnav and Omega and Decca and things that go bump in the night!
The Transit satellite navigation system, commonly called Satnav back in the
day, ceased operation on 31 December 1996.
The Omega stations were shut down on 30 September 1997.
Are any Decca chains still up?

squiggles on an oscilloscope to get a LORAN-A fix)
