I have looked at Long's book chapter one, and I would say that the best inference from the evidence is that they had
some sort of sight reduction or sextant failure. The fact that they could not get a null on the loop antenna meant that
they did not have a backup/sanity check of their DR/Sun LOP fix data. What do you folks think?
