More conspiracy theories. If Mid was MG (Middleburg), you can find all the letters here http://www.mariners-l.co.uk/portletters.html . How about yields (spelled correctly this time) of cod in the North Sea? Dave

One further observation. If V on 13.2.64 was 84630 instead of 8463, V would appear to be following a normal yeild curve. E.g. like when you charge up a capacitor. Dave
Hi, I have some sextant readings (I think), and was wondering if those could be somehow converted to positions? The readings are in a format like this:
- "30.1.1964, V:78,800, BK: 101, AX: 108, HA: 31, VA: 31, Mid: 79",
- "6.2.1964, V:82,700, BK: 103, AX: 109, HA: 32, VA: 31, Mid: 74",
- "13.2.1964, V:84,63, BK: 104, AX: 110, HA: 33, VA: 32, Mid: 85",
- "20.2.1964, V:85,000, BK: 104, AX: 117, HA: 34, VA: 33, Mid: 92, HLon: 62, VL: 69, H:100",
- "29.2.1964, V:?, BK: 99, AX: 110, HA: 31, VA: 30",
Does this make any sense?
