Mr. Fogg-And a fine timekeeper it is! Somewhat difficult to have aboard, but nice. May I suggest an "atomic" timepeice? I use a Giez, purchased in Japan, which is also solar rechargable. I also have an Invicta Atomic for a backup. Both attain signals from Ft. Collins, Colorado and are error free. I just worked a sight taken from Kettle Point in Ontario and came within 1.4 NM of my GPS KP. This was a shore shot taken over a frozen horizon. -Jim
