Humor me, I need to convince myself this is abnormal before I add this to the list of service things to be done
It takes our nav roughly 30sec to acquire the satellite signal (lock in our position) upon start-up. (We park outside, unobstructed) That's...

Up in the Ku range, the signal will barely penetrate a plastic weather-proof cover, and even.

In trying to determine the answer to this, I've found a lot of stuff talking about how they used to hand-draw them, that the art of shading is dying out, etc. But I guess more what I'm wondering is how they knew in such detail what the elevation was of...

showing and then compare them with the coverage maps via the links on

It would appear there's a big slug of solar energy inbound. At worst these cause communications disruptions and play hell with satellites, at best they give a nice light show to those of us in the northern latitudes. The cooler heads are estimating this...

Was just reading about an old satellite in GEO that has been
decomissioned and is being moved to a higher orbit. It is still
operational but they think it will fail soon as it is far beyond its
