In this case the timing rcvrs are located all with in a 20km radius with fixed 
known surveyed locations. The problem is GPS jamming that happens at random 
times. So one "what if" idea is to use a WAAS enabled rcvr and a yet to be 
selected parabolic antenna to point at a given WAAS sat. The concept is to give 
all rcvrs a single common view for critcal timing use in a comm system.

The ultimate goal is to try and reduce the number of times when full sky view 
GPS antennas are victims of GPS band interference.  This is only a half-baked 
idea of mine (in my day-job) but wanted Time Nuts feedback to see if it has any 
merit at all. BTW, the system has Rb for hold-over when there are problems but 
the frequent system error alarms indicating hold-over events is what I/we would 
like to reduce. New SNMP traps could mask off the events, but being an RF 
guy.....I was thinking about a HW solution. :- )
