Raymond, I'm glad that you brought up the subject of synchronizing
to a GPS satellite.

Speaking as an old Air Navigational Aids technician, I would have
continuous heart burn knowing that my system relied on a
standard over which I have absolutely no control.

The Federal Aviation Agency in New England has had one potentially
nasty experience with a GPS that was jammed for several days,
by a non-government transmitter. This has made me think
seriously (against) using GPS as a standard.

In times of natural or man-made disaster, we may want to
rely on an air interface. During those times, can we be sure
that the synchronization source(s) would be available ??

Mardy.
