Navigation Question... Jax's expertise on naval history
laughing? At what? IIRC, the German sub in the Potomac is still shown on NOAA
charts as an obstruction, while the brave, brace CG brags about their sole kill -- a German submarine in LIS -- in WWII to prove how couregeous they were. Certainly, the submarine firing on Seattle is well known. So, dougies, are the guys on the shop floor you mention on drugs or were they hired because they are even dumber than you? Jax you owe me some workmen's comp, two people here in the shop just fell on the floor and busted their guts laughing. DSK |

wrote in message ... Thom, Your senile dementia is being accelerated by all that alcohol. I'm not Nutsy or Jax. Please get yourself some help. Really. You *do* sound very like Bob. You are offensive, stupid and childish. Why would any sane person want to portray himself in this light? Perhaps you are just not very original?? Regards Donal -- |

What would a German sub do in LIS, sink a ferry? Or maybe Pearson 30? BTW do you honestly think that insulting the Coast Guard makes your claims more believable? Certainly, the submarine firing on Seattle is well known. In that case, you should be easily able to find a reference to it. So, dougies, are the guys on the shop floor you mention on drugs or were they hired because they are even dumber than you? Well, they darn sure would not have been hired if they were stupid enough to believe your nonsense. Another classic Jax moment. |

Navigation Question
it is rather sad that you are so "afflicted" as Bob Perry aptly
described you. well, felton, and just how many times has Bob Perry asked *you* for technical advice, eh? felton, you are too dumb to hold a meaningful discussion with. You sound like someone who will go catatonic and hide in corner when the waves start to approach white caps and the winds approach 12 knots. |

Jax, your statements on German and Japanese submarines are ludicrous. Now you have nothing but insults to fall back on, and you can't even do that very well. Maybe you saw U-boats in Long Island Sound when you were out searching for the Gulf Stream? Oh well, if you can't have a real life, you can at least have entertaining fantasies! DSK |

Nutsy, & Bill and Susy,
After that posting about your marriage and problems with the 'Net, which by the way was excellent. You describe Susy's and her family's dicuss with their discovery of your past. It is what the group has been saying for years. If true and not like the Catalina Purchase, then why in the hell is Susy now POSTING; It may be true, for all we know, Your story sounds quite queer. We hate like hell to doubt your word, But it sounds like like Bull **** here!! Ole Thom |

Navigation Question
Although I can't speak for the years prior to the 1960's, no self
respecting navigator I knew after that time would use any AM radio station for navigation, unless all else failed. Two major problems .... the signal could be "bent" traveling over land, then water (hence the reason most marine RDF stations were at lighthouses, or close to the shore) and the locations of the radio towers for AM stations were not always on the charts in use or denoted (I don't have a 117 here to see if some may have been listed). Also, I'm not sure, but I think the calibration error on the particular Shipboard RDF, was done for the relatively narrow band used by RDF stations (not necessarily true throughout the history of RDF). otn JAXAshby wrote: I was writing of your plain vanilla AM radio stations, such as KRLA, KSTP, WCCO, WABC, etc. Marine RDF stations were stations operated (by I believe in the US by the CG and FAA) specifically for ships at sea and later aircraft. Best of my knowledge marine RDF stations operated in th same frequency range as commercial AM radio stations. Are you talking about radio stations such as ABC in New York, or Marine Radio Beacons? Marine Radio Beacons are a different animal, though agreeably obsolete. However, they are still (RDF) to be found on ships. otn |

JAXAshby wrote: So, do you think the radio stations also did that during WWII? I'd hate to think that there were German subs getting lost at Coney Island! I don't know if radio regs changed in WWII, but if they did if probably would not have been because of German submarines. Radio waves don't penetrate water more than about two inches. I do know at least one German sub was sunk in the Potomac and one or many more in Long Island Sound. I don't know that any German subs fired on the US mainland. Do know that at least one Japanese sub fired on Seattle, with little damage. ROFLMAO Where do you find this stuff? otn |
