[Coconuts]

Hey guys. I'm an air traffic controller and before I left work today, I noticed an anouncement about some GPS jamming by the military next week. I'm pretty lazy about checking my notice to mariners so I decided to give you guys a heads up.

Areas possible effected are the extreme southern Chesapeake and offshore from roughly Wachapreague Inlet east and south down to just south of Oregon Inlet during the following times.

May 9 1800-2000 EDT

May 10 0100-0300 EDT
1400-1600 EDT

May 11 0100-0300 EDT

That's a really good bit of info; THANKS for sharing... I imagine you will have saved a few folks from an interesting day on the water.....

This outage wont be too bad. Only a few hours at a time.

Hopefully at most it will only leave a few folks scratching their head wondering why their GPS crapped out for a few hours, but then started working again.

That is info that I would rather "Know before I Go". Thanks for the notice.
