works and you don't have a clew. you and jeffies are huffing and puffing in
the sandbox. if you were big enough to wear a jockstrap you wouldn't be
bragging about maybe someday owning one.

But I will give you a hint as to what to consider in trying to understand why
RDF is less accurate by far than you guys are claiming. Think, "dinner plate".

Jax, if you want some long winded technical discussion on radio waves,
loop antennas, etc., go read the book ....again.
The subject at hand here, is making use of the information, received,
knowing it's limitations, knowing the corrections which may need to be
applied, and translating that information into a useful navigation tool
as it was used in the past, to make approaches to land and/or avoid dangers.
Once again, you need to go back and re-read the section on possible
accuracy, then try and comprehend how a navigator might incorporate that
possible error into his route planning or navigation.
As I've said before and will continue to say, you are a product of GPS,
with no real sense of what is going on around you .... you may know what
the book says, but you don't understand how to use it.
