[time-nuts] GPS outage?

[Bob Camp]

Hi

A "truck jammer" isn't what you would use to take out a large area, you would need > 100,000 of that sort of jammer. Since the truckers that use them get fired, there's a limited number of them in use….

That said, if the "event" is simply toggling into holdover and then immediately popping back out, there's a lot of things that can cause that. Exactly what depends a bit on how long the firmware takes to declare a loss / recovery of GPS.
