Current Satellite Configuration
Posted By J.D. Billings on 2/26/2001 at 7:41 PM

Anyone getting better than 6 SV's for any usable period during normal work hours per Mission Planning Software?
I have checked through the middle of April, with a current almanac (01.052) and looks bad at least through that time frame. I'm in Northeast Texas.

On the other hand though, the geometry must be excellent on the 5-7 birds we are seeing because our results have been excellent on static points. Damn, ain't Locus great.

JD,

My almanacs of the past few days have been pretty much right on---I'm using a cutoff of 12 degrees and the SV's have been better than 8 from 10:30 pm to about 11:30 am. Rest of the day I'm showing 5-6-7 but usually getting one more than forecasted. I'm in central MS; and my results lately have been really good.

Mike:

I like the chart, where does it come from and how do I find it?
