Mt Washington

Worst weather in the world. I would hate to experience 231mph winds.




Monument to the lack of preparedness. Bet you are really happy you went 'extra light' and saved some weight huh?



50 MPH Wind

One state park ranger didn't know the law and he had to be educated. He doesn't understand what constitutional carry means. Not sure what part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED UPON isn't clear.. Must be an idiot from taxachusets or peoples republic of nj...
I had a bowl of chili at the restaurant on top without any other incidents.

Thats right! Not an error - I was heard 173.1 miles away with a little 5W radio and a whip antenna. The 6 miles of elevation probably helped a little.

GPS Drift

I don't know what the hell is going on but there has been a LOT of GPS drift recently. I set up DGPS with 3 sensors connected to my APRS station. I was shocked to see the amount of artificially introduced GPS errors on L1 and L2 channels.
I have noticed several times that it appears selective availability was used in my area.
Notice the the 'changes' in altitude as well as location 'change'.
This is a fixed APRS node with DGPS (3 receivers) positioned 32ft above the ground.
