[aprssig] Terrestrial Threat to GPS Has Now Hit The Mainstream Media.

[Earl Needham]

Yeah, but THIS time they're gonna affect a whole lot more than a couple
hundred thousand hams -- they're gonna royally foul up the military (in the
US), the new GPS approaches at many airports, hikers using GPS, and us.  Oh,
and of course, all those owners of cars with moving-map displays fed by a
GPSr.  I suspect the fan is about to get hit.
