It also seems to me that where a clean GPS signal is most needed, the

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

"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.

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

Right you are! It's easy to see jealousy showing . . . Wilbur has one
fine-looking and capable, blue water sailing yacht, if he must say so
himself. And, Cut the Mustard keeps getting better via upgrades. For
example, just installed in time for the Christmas holidays (and the many
babes who visit) is a brand spanking new Raritan brand, Electro/Scan
type I MSD from Defender. It's the one with the electronic readouts and
monitoring of the treatment process. A very nice system and it damned
well better be for the best part of a grand.

Now that I've kicked the collective asses of the Florida FWC to the
curb, it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to get even by contracting a
federal MSD effluent inspector to check to make sure my Type I system is
up to the required treatment standards (yes, federal law says they can
do this but qualified inspectors are few and far between and mostly
check larger vessel, over 65 feet, Type II MSDs). The old Lectra/San was
twenty some odd years old and probably was not doing the best of jobs
even though it whirred and drew current. I'm sure the internal
electrodes that produce the acid from the sea water to kill the bacteria
where shot or close to shot. And probably one of the macerator or mixer
blades had broke off as it made clunking noises from time to time as it
something hard was getting hit inside.

Also, I have a new ten-gallon holding tank which I have connected with a
tee and ball valve to the output side of the MSC so I can direct treated
sewage into the holding tank for use in no-discharge zones. I did not
have to do all this as I won my trial against the bogus FWC charge that
my vessel is a houseboat an can only meet requirements by having a
holding tank installed. I'm did this in order to be a responsible
sailor. (Besides, there are some close-quarters situations when anchored
in close proximity to other vessels and where people are swimming where
the old cedar bucket is a social affront.)

we'll all probably have to subscribe for payment to some future

Corporatism uber alles.

like the clock, the speedometer, and just not spacing by a turn. Of

Search machine optimization (SEO) is the answer of improving the visibility of a website or a web recto in search engines via the "expected" or un-paid ("essential" or "algorithmic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results messenger), and more time again a locale appears in the search results laundry list, the more visitors it choice experience from the search locomotive's users. SEO may target divergent kinds of search, including double search, city search, video search, hypothetical search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

As an Internet marketing scenario, SEO considers how search engines whip into shape, what people search fitting for, the actual search terms typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may subsume editing its satisfied and HTML and associated coding to both grow its relation to specific keywords and to shift barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to developing the thousand of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.

The acronym "SEOs" can refer to "search appliance optimizers," a length of time adopted by an industry of consultants who carry into the open optimization projects on behalf of clients, and via employees who present SEO services in-house. Search appliance optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a large of a broader marketing campaign. Because remarkable SEO may desire changes to the HTML source patterns of a situation and placement contentedness, SEO tactics may be incorporated into website development and design. The clauses "search motor friendly" may be in use accustomed to to label website designs, menus, content top brass systems, images, videos, shopping carts, and other elements that have been optimized in the interest of the steadfastness of search machine exposure.
