HOLY CRAP ! This is news to me and the first notice I've seen ,even the Local airport(KBVU) hasn't said sh*t. I know my way around the local area pretty good --- but someone coming from out of area could get zapped. :roll: :roll: :roll:


Just noticed the time ?? middle of night ---- but 115 nautical miles from El Durarado dry lake bed will cover the Las Vegas

What's to worry about? Nobody relies on GPS any more. #-o

There have been several of these "tests" over the last few months- the good news is that at least we know about these. I predict many more problems with the increasing reliance on GPS, coupled with its incredible vulnerability and increasing likelihood of intentional malicious jamming.

What about the California and Arizona pilots? They not going to get lost? Why are you singling out "Nevada guys"? [-X

Re: Testing, testing 123

EVERY pilot should comment on this, and report a total loss of GPS signal in the area. This is the outfit that the FCC licensed to operate transmitters that "possibly" interfere with GPS signals.....
