Not exactly in the middle of the night. The Coast Guard announced last month they would start turning it off this month. We did have a thread on it a month ago.

In accordance with the DHS Appropriations Act, the U.S. Coast Guard did terminate the transmission of all U.S. LORAN-C signals effective 2000Z 08 Feb 2010. See
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/Loran/default.htm for all the details. The only ones still in operation are GRI 5930, 5980, 5990, 7270. You may view the estimated remaining LORAN-C signal coverage areas of these international chains in Appendix B, pages B-6 through B-9 of the Specification of the LORAN-C Transmitted Signal, COMDTINST M16562.4A.
