A little background info for those interested: These are scheduled test events for verifying and validating the WAAS GPS position-enhancement system for air flight guidance. Here is the report issued in 2014 for the 2013 year: http://www.nstb.tc.faa.gov/reports/PAN84_0114.pdf You can see the tes

The longest window is Saturday from 10a-5p local time. Can we get a dev jGPSv3 running and assemble a Mt. McLoughlin away team by then? I'm up for the drive with a couple passengers. I wonder if this will impact any of the higher altitude rockets acquiring GPS lock while at apogee this weekend a

As far as finding a spot to observe in Oregon, Mt. McLoughlin is a 9,500ft non-technical peak in Southern Oregon that is 1NM from the 4,000ft AGL boundary. I'd be totally willing to climb with a laptop for science. On Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 10:30 AM, Nathan Bergey wrote: > Woah, that's fascinating

Woah, that's fascinating. We would need to get one of the other GPS boards streaming IQ data reliably--which we really want to do anyway. It's too far of a trip to take just for this, I think. Depends on how crazy we're feeling. Might as well record somewhere high up in Portland (Skyline?) just i

To the GPS folks, there is an interesting event that will occur this week starting in 15 minutes or so, and going on sporadically this week/weekend. There is a planned GPS outage over a broad area detailed here: https://www.faasafety.gov/files/notices/2015/Jun/NSAWC_15-01_GPS_Flight_Advisory.pdf

I was reviewing my old GPS Jamming slides and it terns out jamming can accrue with a received jammer signal strength of -90dB. it is possible the 1575.02MHz signal is still to strong and we are self jamming. is there a way we can change the 25MHz clock to 12.5MHz to test this possibility? I als
