I also follow the time-nuts reflector. One of he regulars is Tom Van Baak, who
had a part in the PBS series "Genius"
(http://www.pbs.org/genius-by-stephen-hawking/episodes/episode-1/) which was
largely filmed here in Tucson.
When I mentioned this to my friend Dan, AC6LA, he recommended the book,
"Longitude" by Dava Sobel. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude_(book)
The rest is probably self-explanatory.

Related to this. The Naval Academy has started teaching Celestial Navigation
again. It had been discontinued.
The Coast Guard never discontinued it.
I also understand the old surplussed 10 kW Collins HF transmitters are being
