[time-nuts] GPS outage?

[Brian, WA1ZMS]

Guys-

Please forgive me for the BW......

My day-job mgmt. has also asked me today if I knew of any US regional GPS
"issues", as we too have had several reports of
our customers systems going into Rb hold-over on or about the 4th of Sept.
Only fact I can find is that SVN 4 was noted as
an issue via: http://adn.agi.com/SatelliteOutageCalendar/SOFCalendar.aspx
But that can't be the root cause.

At work, I am now the "go-to-guy" for ANYTHING GPS related since I'm a
Time-Nut and we have customers who depend on
GPS timing for their  comm. systems;  and for reasons I cannot go into here
on this reflector.

So like Brad.....I too have anecdotal reports of issues.  The sky is not
falling, nor was it a serious issue.
However if anyone has info that they cannot share via the reflector, a
private reply would be much appreciated.
I am not looking for info that cannot be openly shared. But if anyone has
hint or clue, I would much appreciate it.

BTW....my GPS receivers here in VA seemed to have had no issue. Go figure.

Readers of my newsletter are reporting a strange interruption of their GPS
reception yesterday -- mainly in the northeastern US but also in SC. This is
my first day on this mailing list -- for a while -- so I don't know if this
has been discussed or reported previously. Has anyone else noticed this? We
are trying to find out is there was some sort of system-wide issue or maybe
if it was local interference possibly caused by those GPS jammers that some
of the truckers have been using.

By the way, my newsletter is mostly about Paging, and we use GPS/DOs to keep
the paging transmitters (in simulcast mode) synchronized and on frequency.
