Two CHIMNEY SWIFTS were feeding over the Point on the 28th and 29th and an estimated 12 RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRDS were seen on the 26th and 27th. A HAIRY WOODPECKER flew over on the 28th and a PILEATED WOODPECKER flew past on the 26th.

WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS and a NORTHERN FLICKER and 6 GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS were also at Prince Edward Point on the 24th, and an estimated 100 TUNDRA SWANS in the South Bay and Smith's Bay area will continue to be predictable, provided temperatures remain as they are. A late BRANT was at Point Petre on the 23rd, as were 2 GREAT BLUE HERONS.

Estimates place the current deer population at well over 100, and action is needed because the forest and savannah ecosystems are severely impacted by these high numbers.

Placing a ruler on the ground, and observing them when they re-launched, allowed me to estimate their waterline length with confidence. I put it at 11 in, close to Don Dodds' original estimate of a foot. The second part of my work involved actual speed measurements.

Given: Estimated distance travelled is 24,000 NM. Six lbs. food/water per person per day. Qualifications: A circumnavigation is traditionally considered complete when the returning boat crosses its line of departure after traversing 360 degrees of longitude. The actual travelled distance can vary.

So - a quick back-of-the-napkin estimates says a couple of panels just might allow you to be at anchor for a day or two w/o needing the generator and using the reserves in your house battery bank. Of course the ALL depends on the actual usage, which if you can confirm actual usage would be best.

In the mean-time, do you have any estimate of what the signal delay time is for a signal to propagate through the rx and tx frontend? I know that this is complicated and will change with freq, bw, etc but if you have a ballpark estimate, that would be helpful.

Infact, I had two errors which canceled each other for the ADEV corrected form but not for the drift estimate which was correct. Mumble.

Parkinson told Inside GNSS that he estimates the probability of Congress approving eLoran at 75 to 80 percent.
