G'day Mike
I recall seeing details of expected GPS reduced
accuracy given somewhere in the Aviation area forecasts each day or are they in
some of the other notes?
Regards Geoff

GPS sats are not in
geostationary orbits so the bad sats will be
visible everywhere over a day
or two. The ground stations and control
center can identify the bad ones
in a few hours at most and either
turn them off or switch to another
transmitter and/or clock on the
bad sat. Maybe someone at DSTO left a GPS
jammer on by mistake or
they are testing same? Normally this sort of thing
is notified.
