Brad,
Your analysis well received and noted, thanks! That just leaves my sextant technique and maybe some other errors of the art on my part. The last time I shot a pinwheel on duty was probably 1983. SAT-NAV became pretty universal after that and I think I saw my first GPS set in '88. I know I started leaving my sextant home around '85 after an airline forced my to check it and it came back to me with a broken index shade.
Best Rgds,
