Default How many beer boxes needed to navigate an ocean?

jeffies, I didn't ask you for a google site. I asked you to explan how RDF
works. It is simple, simple enough so I knew how it is done when I was still
in jr hs. I want to hear _your_ explanation, jeffies, and if you understood
it, you could explane it in less than 10 seconds.

but then if you understood it you wouldn't be such a fool as to say you could
get even 5* accuracy on a recreational sailboat.

btw jeffies, wanna explain how time of year effects RDF accuracy? How about
rain? Sunspots?

Go ahead. trying googling those facts (and they are facts in relation to RDF).

no, you are not.

Actually Bowditch and other government references say "two degree" accuracy.


RDF equipment used on recreational sailboats was not capable of that

accuracy.

As I said, I didn't expect better the 5 degrees.


have you ever seen one, jeffies?


As I said, I carried one board. I also regularly cruised on boats that had
them.

Do you know how they operate?


yes. You start by turning them on.

Do you know why the operate?


Physics, jaxie.
