  At one time in the past, the GPS satellites sent a signal with one
  level of accuracy to the general public, and a higher level of
  accuracy for military or other government users -- or so I have heard.
  I'm pretty sure that is not the case these days, and any temporary
  outage had nothing to do with load on the satellites.  They are
  broadcasting to all 24/7.

   You would be able to get the satellite signals -- it is a matter of
   getting a piece of hardware/software/firmware to interpret them onto
   a local map for you.  I think that you could get that if you wanted
   it.  One place to start might be http://www.magellan.com.au/ .


 GJ> On another subject, I hope my msgs are getting to you, as I have not

  Did you get the QWK packet I sent you?


MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: CHILLED RED PEPPER SOUP
 Categories: Soup, Pruess
      Yield: 8 servings
 
MMMMM----------------------------SOUP---------------------------------
     42 oz Roasted red peppers
           - (water-packed) rinsed,
           - blotted dry, with all
           - black bits removed
      3 lg Garlic cloves
           - peeled and split
      4 c  Chicken stock
  2 1/2 c  Buttermilk
    1/4 c  Sugar
      1 tb Salt; or to taste
      4 c  Frozen or fresh corn kernels
    3/4 c  Minced pickled nopales
           -(See NOTE)
      1 tb Finely chopped fresh oregano
           -=OR=- Coriander
      3 ds Tabasco sauce, to taste
      8 oz Low- or non-fat yogurt
           - for garnish
      2 ts Minced fresh oregano
           -=OR=- Coriander
           - for garnish

MMMMM-------------------HERBED TORTILLA CRISPS------------------------
      3 lg Flour tortillas
           - cut into 12 sections each
      2 tb Vegetable oil
    1/2 ts Dried oregano
      1 tb Grated Parmesan cheese
 
  IN THE BOWL of a food processor fitted with a steel chopping blade,
  combine the peppers and garlic, and puree until smooth. Scrape the
  mixture into a large non-aluminum bowl. Add the chicken stock,
  buttermilk, sugar, salt, corn, nopales, oregano, and Tabasco, and
  stir to blend. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. In a small bowl,
  combine the yogurt and oregano. Cover and refrigerate.
  
  TO MAKE THE CRISPS: Turn on your broiled, and position the rack at
  least 5 inches from the heat. Lightly brush the top of the tortilla
  wedges with oil. Place them on a lightly oiled cookie sheet. Sprinkle
  on the oregano, crumbling it with your fingers as you do this, then
  drizzle on the Parmesan cheese. Run them under the broiler, just to
  crisp and color lightly, watching so they do not burn. Before
  serving, ladle the soup into bowls. Add about a tablespoon of the
  yogurt in the center. Sprinkle on chopped oregano and serve with the
  tortilla wedges.
  
  NOTE: Although Tex-Mex and other Latin delicacies are now available
  in many markets across the country, pickled nopales or tender cactus
  leaves are less available than jalapeno peppers, for example. If you
  cannot find them, either chop a few pickled jalapeno peppers (with
  the seeds removed) or simply omit them.
