GPS clocking

While jamming would be an annoyance for us, in the aviation industry where traditional ILS radio approaches to major airports are planned to be replaced by RNAV GPS approaches, it could be catastrophic.

This conference will bring together experts from all aspects of the PNT community to debate important aspects of GPS vulnerabilities including intentional and unintentional jamming, natural and man-made interference and other issues which might impact users and applications which leverage PNT technology. Reduced delegate rate available for Digital Systems KTN and RIN Members.

Lady Campanula,

Is it your 'pooter clock or mine that needs resetting ?

Neither, it's the YBW servers. What we (the users) see as a single web site actually has more than one server, but nobody at YBW or their service provider seems to know how to get the servers to use NTP to keep them in sync.

Dan: if you see this, please can you put it at the top of a well-publicised Forum-FAQ page?

That's 'cos GPS jammers are 'cheap and cheerful' in the not-quite-legal arms bazaars of Central and South-Eastern Europe, and malcontents of varying flavours have been buying and trying them for some time.

This is why OfCom have a little-publicised but very well resourced specialist police force. Don't even think of broadcasting/re-radiating on or near a GPS frequency.....
