[time-nuts] Something with GPS??

[Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R]

Last evening my Thunderbolt was losing satellites until
none were reported usable.  At the same time the
K5FX Thunderbolt  was down to one or no usable birds.

This afternoon I dug out my other thunderbolt, the first
one I got.  That one had a defective OCXO which I replaced
with a 49422.  That couldn't get any usable birds either.

Now things are back to normal.  K5FX is happy and so
are both of my Thunderbolts.

So -- What happened?  Anyone else notice something
out of the ordinary?  Someone practicing GPS jamming?

BTW Is there a spot on the Thunderbolt where I can
sample the RF or IF to feed a spectrum analyzer?  The signal
coming down the coax is too weak to see on my
analyzers.
