I live at 55N and I very much have a "hole to the north": http://phk.freebsd.dk/raga/sneak/fig1.png That also means I live in one of the two circles where the lattiude DOP is worst on the entire planet :-/ North of this circle, one can pick up sats on the far side of the hole. South of it, the hole occupies a smaller angle of azimuth. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com -- To unsubscribe send an email to time-nuts-le...@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to and follow the instructions there.
