+chasclifton Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 "Over the past few years, the US Coast Guard has reported multiple episodes of GPS jamming at non-US ports, including an incident reported to the Coast Guard's Navigation Center this June that occurred on the Black Sea. South Korea has claimed on several occasions that North Korea has jammed GPS near the border, interfering with aircraft and fishing fleet navigation. And in the event of a war, it's possible that an adversary could take out GPS satellites with anti-satellite weapons or some sort of cyber-attack on a satellite network." https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/08/radio-navigation-set-to-make-global-return-as-gps-backup-because-cyber/ Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Okay, not sure where you're going with this, but as to the possibility of "war" , I'd think this hobby wouldn't be too high on the list of must-haves at the time anyway... 3 Quote Link to comment

+SeattleWayne Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Yeah, really. The nation is at war and you're worried about geocaching? I guess if it doesn't affect you... Quote Link to comment

+Asgoroth Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Or, as I did when I went to war, you can get a new country added to your find count. 1 Quote Link to comment

Some of us have been at war for 16 years now. Doesn't look like it's dampened geocaching for most of the rest of the crowd. 2 Quote Link to comment

Me, neither, or I'd have finds (and hides) in at least Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Here's me 10 feet from GCGXJB, but I had no idea it was there. 4 Quote Link to comment

+hzoi Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Just now, Asgoroth said: Found that cache 31 Oct 2005 Sir.. Right after I was there. Unfortunately I didn't start caching until 2007. (Not in a hurry to get back for it, I gotta say.) Quote Link to comment
