    Re: Help needed with old sextant readings

    Niklas,

    The data sets are not from a sextant. LORAN, OMEGA, or SatNav perhaps.

    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?
