Maybe you meant LORAN or LORAN-C?
I used to work for about the ONE company that designed and made these for the US Coast Guard.
I did some control work and software for the remote controllers that allowed them to to control and adjust the transmitters from a remote location.
It was interesting work, and an interesting technology. I have heard talk of bringing it back, as a backup to GPS, in case someone shoots down some of the GPS satellites.
