Twice it occurred over the ocean while out of sight of land. I suspected at that time that it was a general outage (it took down my panel-mount GPS as well as my hand-held back-up), but now suspect that it was close-in jamming. I remember the general availability of Russian-made GPS jammers about 15 years ago. I didn't realize that the use of GPS jamming was prevalent. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 706 Flightline Drive Spring Branch, TX 78070 [email protected] +1.916.877.5067 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
