GPS Jamming Exercise - Wales September 2009

[Magwych]

Very advanced notice, I know: I have just received this GPS jamming exercise update from OfCom ...

The MoD has informed Ofcom of the following GPS jamming exercise:

Dates: 7-11 September and 14-18 September 2009.

Times: limited periods between 09:00 and 17:00 hrs

Location: Within 5km of N52° 00.881’ and W003° 38.518’ (Sennybridge Training Area, Mid-Wales).


I have attached the location in Garmin GPS Database 3 format (.gdb) and Garmin GPS Exchange format (.gpx). If you are out and about north of the Brecon National Park on those dates be prepared for non-functioning GPS or odd behaviour...
