BusinessWeek is carrying an article today that says that government
tests showed that the proposed LightSquared mobile service caused
interference to 75% of all GPS receivers tested.

There is big money behind this. * I'd recommend writing your elected
representatives and voicing your concerns.

It seems to me real sailors needn't be concerned about this at all. Who
needs GPS inland or very near coastal anyway where landmarks and
navigation marks are eyeball visible? Those who proceed down the
Intracoastal Waterway with eyes glued to their GPS readout are putzes to
be sure.

It also seems to me that where a clean GPS signal is most needed, the
commercial broadcast will not have the range to reach out that far.
These signals are very weak and short-range. Lucky if they have a
workable range of a mile.

"The laboratory testing was performed for the National Space-Based
Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Systems Engineering Forum, an
executive branch body that helps advise policy makers on issues around
GPS. It found that 69 of 92, or 75 percent, of receivers tested
"experienced harmful interference" at the equivalent of 100 meters (109
yards) from a LightSquared base station." *- from link above.

If you regularly sail within a 100 meters of a transceiver station (they
won't be on the water, folks" then be worried - be very worried, but
those instances will be few and far between to non-existent.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

*Celebrating Christmas again on that mustard yellow/mauve Coronado 27?

That's our Suckling Don, always quick to say crappy things about what
other's have, but doesn't like it when someone points out his paint
blistered house with garbage in the yard.- Hide quoted text -

Ah.. Kevin!
Are you saying that the mustard yellow/mauve paint scheme is
"crappy"? I said no such thing.
As a matter of fact, Capt Neil seems very proud of his Coronado 27 and
it's colours. He just might consider the acknowledgement of it as a
compliment.

Suckling Don the Coward, I, and everyone else, realizes that you are
calling me Kevin to deflect from your cowardly actions here. Also,
everyone here knows that your daddy Harry has taught you how to insult
without really seeming like you are the low life scum that you are. That
blistering, peeling paint and junk in your yard is really attractive!

BTW coward... where were you yesterday and Wednesday?
Your absence in Beddington Maine was conspicious, although certainly
expected.

Who, Kevin?
