Default What's Wrong With OLC?

I've just replaced the two CN antennae with new, 28 dB gain antennae
with uncut coax leads.Â* They're mounted on opposite canopy rails, at
least 3 ft apart.Â* It's gusting 25 kts at Moriarty right now and
forecast up to 40.Â* I probably won't be flying today.

Looking at your April 25 flight on SeeYou, the GPS altitude graph
shows tons of dropouts (down to 0 altitude).

This is absolutely not corruption on a USB stick, the file would show
as invalid with the CRC check if it were.Â* It's the logger showing bad
altitude numbers, and at least one out of order time stamp.

If these problems correspond to the jamming, then not much you can do.
But I wouldn't rule out interference from inside the cockpit, maybe
even the two CN antennas mounted next to each other and interfering
with each other.Â* Stranger things have happened.

LOL...Â* I predate Windows; PCs and Apples, in fact.

I have separate sticks for each device.Â* It's hard to imagine that
both would fail in the same manner.

As soon as I get a chance to fly again, I'll try three different
sticks.Â* Winds are currently around 20G30 kts.Â* I don't mind landing
in that, but I see no need to take off until things settle down.
Ah... Spring time in Moriarty...

Could be a bad stick......
I am from the age of, "Whoa.....a 30mb USB stick.....you know how
many 3.5" floppies this replaces!!!!"
First field job.....user PC was Windows NT.....no Frikkin USB
support.........sigh........

Today, big USB sticks are like cheap butane lighters......the stick
is cheap (make sure to format in correct OS/software) so when not
sure, recycle and buy new......
