The US Coast Guard issued a bulletin
https://mariners.coastguard.blog/2020/06/29/coast-guard-discontinues-differential-gps-broadcast/
stating
that it is discontinuing its broadcast of differential GPS (DGPS) signals
after 25 years. With the improved accuracy and integrity of un-augmented
GPS over the last several years, and with the introduction of the
US-operated satellite-based augmentation system known as Wide Area
Augmentation System (WAAS), the maritime community no longer has a mission
requirement for DGPS. GPS now provides sufficient positional accuracy to
meet international navigation requirements for harbor approaches and to
position Federal Aids to Navigation (ATON).  (6/29/20) [
