Just wondering:
1) Is the UK govt doing this?
2) Is the USA doing anything similar?
3) What's the purpose?
4) Have you guys using GPS over there been affected?
Sincerely,
Ron

I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and
such. I don't always see new messages very quickly. If you need a
reply and have not heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.)
