Tom, My reply to James as there is not a method to respond to Guest Book inquires. I am responding to your post concerning a Loran Station on Oahu, Hawaii. There was a OMEGA station on the island 1966 - 1997, which is a long range aid to navigation station. As far as I know, there never was a Loran station (A or C) on Oahu that was operated by the USCG. There was Loran A stations on Niihau (1944 - 1952), Kauai (1952 - 1977), French Frigate Shoals (1944 - 1977), Molokai (1952 - 1965), Hawaii (1944 - 1977) and Johnston Island (1958 - 1977). Loran-C service was provided 1961 - 1992. The stations were located on Hawaii, Johnston Island and Kure Island. Bill

James, there was no Loran station on Oahu. There were four in the Hawaii chain. One monitor on Kauai, one master on Niihau and two slaves, one at Upolu Point on the big island and one on French Frigate Shoals.

I served on Niihau in 1949. I was a ET seaman. I am now 96 years old. I was the only one who changed the red light at the top of the antenna.

My dad served at the Loran station from 1968-1969. He doesnt talk much about his service so this was an amazing site I found to learn more about what he did. I know this is a long shot but I would love to connect with anyone that served with him during that time. THANK YOU and GOD BLESS all that serve and have served.

Great site, my dad Russell Grose served in Udorn, Thailand in 1972-73. I learned a lot from this site.

Should have said dad was a radioman at the LORAN station they built on East Island, French Frigate Shoals, during WWII.
