A more relevant question is the likelihood of a successful result, and about that I can't easily opine. However, the issues with the system were unknown until I had extensive discussions with the vendor team. The DoD document which asserts that it would be okay to abandon leap seconds in UTC was signed before these discussions. That implies that DoD never asked such questions. -- Steve Allen <[email protected]> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 University of California Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
