If you want to know about them, you need to check NOTAM's (Notice to Airmen) published by the FAA. The last tests of any appreciable extent I know of were in 2006 and centered on military test areas in California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Florida. If you regularly check NOTAM's, you will occasionally see notices of possible GPS outage for short periods around military test areas in the South Western desert areas. The general public and most posters to comp.protocols.time.ntp don't hear about them because essentially no one but pilots care or could be effected. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
