Hi, Bill
Bear in mind that I was using the Loran on land, with the usual obstructions
from trees, power lines, etc. But what I was doing at the time was getting
back to a stored location – my house. When I arrived, the Loran claimed I
lived about 1/4 to 1/2 mile South! 🙂 OTH, an experiment with my Trimble
Scout GPS this morning driving to work put me within 50 feet of my expected
location. (Actually I _WAS_ about 50 feet from where I had recorded the
location!) As the GPS accuracy is only supposed to be +- 100 meters, my best
guess is that I had lucked out and the DOD had temporarily turned off SA
for the occasion. 🙂
Cheers, Guy
