ah, now I see the problem shen. you don't know what the English word
"question" means. Or else you confuse it with the English word "pontificate".

not enough years in high school for you, shen. you should have stayed a few
more.

Hey Jaxass, read your post and follow through to his. I see TWO (2) very
distinct questions. Now, either you're blind, or you don't understand the (?)
mark.

Shen

you asked no questions. you did nothing but pontificate, and you did so
clearly showing one and all you do not understand the technique nor how it
works.

you are a cookbook navigator trying to claim the cake bakes because the
light
is on inside the oven.


As expected, unable to answer some simple questions .... plonk

no wonder you pontificated.

LOL, glad I was waiting to the end of this session to plonk you....

Yes I did ask a question. To repeat: What does "Ships didn't have mobile
radio compasses, so they weren't aligned each time they were used" refer
to (it's your statement)....care to answer?

As to your other statement .... RDF's signals could be taken either
using magnetic or gyro or fluxgate compasses, and the accuracy was
dependent on a number of factors, but with any of the three, could well
fall into the ranges stated.
New question: How the hell did you think anyone plotted an RDF bearing
if they didn't "align" it with the compass?

otn ... you will be plonked, but I'll hold to see if you can make any
reasonable response.
