Guys- Please forgive me for the BW......
My day-job mgmt. has also asked me today if I knew of any US regional GPS "issues", as we too have had several reports of our customers systems going into Rb hold-over on or about the 4th of Sept. Only fact I can find is that SVN 4 was noted as an issue via: http://adn.agi.com/SatelliteOutageCalendar/SOFCalendar.aspx But that can't be the root cause. At work, I am now the "go-to-guy" for ANYTHING GPS related since I'm a Time-Nut and we have customers who depend on GPS timing for their comm. systems; and for reasons I cannot go into here on this reflector. So like Brad.....I too have anecdotal reports of issues. The sky is not falling, nor was it a serious issue. However if anyone has info that they cannot share via the reflector, a private reply would be much appreciated. I am not looking for info that cannot be openly shared. But if anyone has hint or clue, I would much appreciate it. BTW....my GPS receivers here in VA seemed to have had no issue. Go figure. -Brian, WA1ZMS -----Original Message----- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of Brad Dye Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2013 6:14 PM To: Time Nuts Subject: [time-nuts] GPS outage? Readers of my newsletter are reporting a strange interruption of their GPS reception yesterday -- mainly in the northeastern US but also in SC. This is my first day on this mailing list -- for a while -- so I don't know if this has been discussed or reported previously. Has anyone else noticed this? We are trying to find out is there was some sort of system-wide issue or maybe if it was local interference possibly caused by those GPS jammers that some of the truckers have been using. By the way, my newsletter is mostly about Paging, and we use GPS/DOs to keep the paging transmitters (in simulcast mode) synchronized and on frequency.
