Speculation? No not at all as basically there are several areas with semi regular active NANU's and GPS Service Interruptions Kerry, that's a great search & find. I had looked around the Coast Guard website and found nothing. Ultimately, as we all know, the GPS first priority is for US government use and the ability to restrict the use by others is essential. But now I'm curious to see, based on those exact schedules you found, what effect it will actually have on measurements. We'll see what effects First Coast geocachers experience...

I can imagine the calls to the cell phone providers (via landline) when the DOD cranks up that interference engine. From the articile, it could be effecting much of the lower east coast from Melbourne thru the Carolinas.

Actually, I just found this arctiicle: http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/..._15826892.shtml

I caught a small blurp on a local eastcoast Florida news program that the GPS system would be unavailable along the east coast of northern Florida and part of Georgia in the coming days for some reason. That doesn't quite make sense that it could be "turned off" in such a small area (geographically speaking). The news item seemed to be aimed particularly at boaters who would "have to go back to using VHF radio". Does any have some real facts on this?

GPSCITY.com shipped mine today. 2nd day FedEx says I'll have it Thursday 11 March.
