Good morning, John et al.
I'm practicing fixed position land navigation so haven't tried anything involving moving locations or advancing LOPs. Also haven't tried averaging yet although that's probably next.
I just finished plotting 3 each of my direct sun sights and AH sights, and after correcting several simple calculation errors, got my fixes within about 5 and 10 miles, respectively. (Maybe someone might be interested in seeing the plots so they're attached.)
I generally took at least a few sights at about the same time so we'll see what averaging can do to the results.
Thanks for the response.
Daniel H.
