    We do all need to be informed about possible problems
    with GPS. For example, there has been concern in the UK
    about satellites at certain times of the day being
    lined up East-West and hence giving a poor "cut".
    The US Govt itself tells us precisely what RIN and
    Philip Ouvry have repeated:

    interference.

    (US) FAA - need we say more?
    The Trade paper for Loran reports on both these items:
