    Canadian Geopub Quiz

    in Canada

    Posted · Edited by Luc & Sweety

    Here's one that doesn't take too much brain power.

     

    How many GPS satellites are visible from any point on earth at any point in time? (answer can vary by 3)

    Ok I'll take a stab. Referencing an atlas I think the answers are as follows.

     

    North - Cape Alrich, Nunavut

    East - Cape Spear, Newfoundland

    South - Middle Island, Ontario

    West - this one is a little unclear but I think its Prince Rupert, BC?

    Ok, here is one sticking with the whole GPS theme..

     

    What are the two frequencies that a GPS satellite broadcasts?

     

    Civil GPS receivers use the L1 frequency with 1575.42 MHz (wavelength 19.05 cm). The L1 frequency carries the navigation data as well as the SPS code (standard positioning code). The L2 frequency (1227.60 MHz, wavelength 24.45 cm) only carries the P code and is only used by receivers which are designed for PPS (precision positioning code). Mostly this can be found in military receivers.

    I can't think of a good one right now, so I'll just ask an easy one: what does GIS stand for?

    Excellent pictures...Looks like it was a lot of fun. I even recognized the cache locations on several of them. Any thoughts yet on where's next year's 24 hour event going to be?

     

    I believe the 2007 version is slated for Whitby and area....

     

    Hey, if its gonna be out this way count me in! If you need help planning a route for next years marathon let me know. We've done pretty much everything out this way.

    Those "Kamping Kabins" look like just the ticket! For the free weekend you need to stay 2 nights - sounds like a deal to me! Sleeps 4 - I'll book one if anyone is interested.

     

    Just noticed the "Free Night" is sponsored by Magellan... oh well, at least it's free. <_< They're giving away a Magellan eXplorist XL or a Magellan RoadMate 800 system too.

     

    We might be interested in that. Sounds like fun.

    Hoping someone out there in the Chatham, Ontario area can help me here. My wife's TB Pookie has been stuck in a cache out there for a month now. It hasn't had much luck moving about as each cache it gets dropped in, it seems to spend a fair amount of time in. Can someone in that area please pick him up and help move him along. Thanks.

    Ok just to be either really lame or really dumb. I am using Netscape 8.0.4. I'm having the same problem as others have mentioned about the tabs being hidden on the profile page. I do have the most up to date version of Netscape. So am I outta luck here or what?
