So far, NNN = over the nee, jeffies and joony

not one of them could find his ass in the dark even with an RDF.

Butt I, boys and girls would have no problem sniffing out there asses
in the dark. Soon.

Where have we heard that name before?

jeffies, you can't even explain how RDF works, yet you "read somewhere"
that it
"can be" accurate to 2*, and **you** KNOW it is accurate to 6*.

you are one of the Nattering Nabobs of Nowhere, jeffies, a dolt.

You're cracking me up jaxie ... what are you going to reveal? That no
one
ever
used RDF? That no one ever cruised before GPS was invented?

Are you going to deny that government publications say accuracy can be as
good
as 2 degrees? You've been trying to say I claimed 2 degrees, but I said
"I
generally assumed I'd get no better the 5 degrees." You keep talking
about
granite ledges but I said I used it when running down the coast or for
approaches. You do know what an "approach" is? No? I didn't think so.

So what ... are you going to show the accuracy was only 6 or 7 degrees?
Or
that sometimes signals were bent by shoreline affect? None of this
matters
when
you're using it to home in on an offshore light. The bottom line is the
RDF
was
the best tool we had for certain purposes. Everybody understood that it
had
limitations, but we also knew how to use it.

So while we're talking about "twisting slowly in the wind" you still
haven't
explain why you thought you were 10 miles off course when you had 3 GPS's
on
board?



"JAXAshby" is ...
twisting slowly in the wind.

no, over the nee, I am going to let you twist slowly in the wind. I
know
why
you are lost in a fog but you don't. I asked you explain how RDF
equipment
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.

tick tock.

Why should I google it? You've obviously been doing that for two days now.
But even so, you had no idea it could be used for distance off. You had no
idea
you could combine a RDF LOP with an other type of line. You had no idea you
could use two different radiobeacons. And you don't even know what an
"approach" is. Pretty pathetic, jaxie. What have you ever done on a boat
other
than hang over the side?

Come on Jaxie - Why are you so terrified of being with GPS? Why were you
lost?
If 3 isn't enough, how many GPS's do you need to find Cape Hatteras?

keep going, jeffies. 2*, eh? 5*? 6*

you did not then, and do not now, have a clew WTF you said.

I suggest you bone up on your back peddling skills. Soon, you will need
them.

RDF is simple, jeffies, and you couldn't even find diddly on it even by
googling. If, on the other hand, you knew how it worked you wouldn't have
made
your dumb statements, would you.

Why should I explain it to you? Why does anyone care? No one doubts that
RDF
was commonly used, and no one really cares whether I used it. You're just
trying
to lay a trap, but its as transparent as your other junior high school
ploys.

But you can explain two things to us - why are you so terrified of the
concept
of sailing without GPS, and why were you lost when you had 3 GPS's on
board?

jeffies askes:

The "Nattering Nabobs of Negativity" speech was written by William Safire.
Where have we heard that name before?


Wiliam Safire is the novelist who wrote "Scandelmongers", "Full Disclosure" and
a "Sleeper Spy".

I enjoyed "Sleeper Spy", and I recall learning from it that the term "parting
shot" was more properly "Parthian Shot", named for a battle technique used by
warriors from Parthia. I am not sure, but I believe a Parthian general was
named in the Illiad or the Odessey, and hence from which came the name.

The reference I was thinking of was to Safire's column in the NYT magazine about
how Bush cleverly avoided use the phrase "imminent threat."
