into the horse and buggy age with an EMP attack than to
take out a significant number of GPS satellites.

Might loose the signal not unusual and it did shift +5-8 us tonight aligned
to the diurnal shift.
So maybe this is not so crazy of an approach.

Perry you mean like the 10' X 10' loop I put up?
It has about 800 ft of wire.
Brang the daytime signal fro 30 uv to an easy 60 +.
Compared to a 2.5 ft loop.
Yes higher power would be good.

Hi
Well between now and midnight, you will completely loose signal at least once.
It's a pretty dramatic amplitude dip as sunset gets right to the "wrong" place.

The "zero crossing" is very arbitrary. If it's correct at the transmit site, it
will then be off everywhere else by the speed of light / distance. You will
appear to be correct once every wavelength away from Colorado (roughly every 3
miles). You won't really be correct because you are look

Joe, Cellphone frequencies are little affected by ionospheric effects, so I
would be surprised if that was an effect though GPS is a different matter,
or sat-phone.

It's not actually a flare.that has been and gobe it a great bif glob of
plasma, ejected by the same region. Spaceweather.com has a reputation for
over-hyping these CME events. I could cause problems but there are a lot of
conditions to be met before it is a disaster. Enjoy the aurora :-))
Not sure what you've found that's 48MB, this one is only 1650KB:-)

I am a bit confused about Lady Heather's settings for screen resolution.
/vc=rowsXcols - custom screen size (e.g. /vc=1200x800)
My laptop's native resolution is 1280 x 800 pixels but pixels and rows & cols
are different measurements right? Is there a correlation?
I am getting the "scaled down"
Oh, is it the 48MB .PDF I have just seen? Then no utilities... this is very
strange.

Just out of interest, does anyone know why the Sigem SGM5610 GPS module,

I can't find a spec for 1PPS accuracy in either the data sheet or manual
so wouldn't expect too much demand for timing purposes, but of all the
I don't see why school crossing signs, water sprinklers, street or outdoor

Synchronized traffic lights, perhaps. But there are other cheaper, ways of
doing that like a simple radio link.

I think the answer to "how many places would it be used" is to simply count the
number of things that have the wrong time on them each time the power burps.
There are maybe a dozen gizmos like that in this room (yes I'm in the kitchen).
