actually, donny, I just did an explanation of how radio compasses worked


Radio compasses???


and
how to figure accuracy of output so as to not hit the granite ledges off a

fog
bound Maine coast.


I think that nobody will take you seriously about navigation issues until
you learn to get better that 10 miles accuracy out of multiple GPS sets.



you can go look it up, if you wish.


LOL! That's very funny.
Only a lunatic would waste time trying to find you that you were correct
about anything.

particularly if there is potential you
might some day actually sail and sail a big ocean all the way left, and do

it
on a boat without gazillions of electronic thingies onboard.

the thread is interesing in at least one respect because we had one poster
here, jeffies I believe it was, who claimed to have used a paper sextant

in the
fog to tell his position. not sure how he kept the paper from falling

apart in
the moisture, but he said it worked just fine. This he knew because he

didn't
hit any granite ledges.


He's in good company, don't you think? After all, you failed to hit any
ledges when you found that your three GPS's all had a user error of at least
10 miles.
