RDF (radio direction finding) ... do you ?
RDF is nice to have if it covers the MW band, but it is very very nice to
have if it covers the VHF band. This allows you to get a bearing on other boats, not just shore stations. Steve "purple_stars" wrote in message oups.com... i know everyone uses gps. enough said. but i also know that a lot of cruisers (most ? all ? all of the smart ones ?!) use alternate methods of finding their position and navigating to both keep their skills current in case of emergency, to double check the gps equipment, etc, etc. some use celestial navigation, everyone uses piloting skills, and on and on. but do you still use RDF ? if so, could you talk a little about what equipment you keep on board for it ? most of the RDF equipment i've seen looks really old! |

On that thought, if anyone has one of those that they want to sell, I
would like to buy it. |
