Does anybody remember the system on the west coast that started with a
"C" I think. You would listen for the identifier and the count the dots
or dashes which when it stopped that was the Bearing line you were on
from that station and you could tune in another and the count would
provide you with an "AP" on the chart. I used it numerous time in the
mid 60's while ferrying plane to Taiwan. In 66/67/68 used APN-4/9 in SEA
while flying SEA Vietnam area.
LORAN C is a major improvement over A like night and day.
