Another
GPS anecdote:
Last
spring in Phoenix, when Obama was in town I was driving near PHX
(Skyharbour) with my Garmin 496 on the dash. Coincidentally I had my
car radio on and happened to be getting live coverage of Obama's
departure when I noticed loss of GPS signal that lasted more than the
usual couple of seconds. I turned to the signal page on the 496 and
had one bar indicating full, no other bars were showing. I monitored
this and exactly 20 minetes after Obama lifted off in Airforce One, the
bars (about 8) all came on suddenly like someone flipped a switch.
I called
FAA, (not Tracon) and was told to "call DOD". I also checked the TFR's
and found that it's end time was about 10 more minetes after the GPS
signal came back.

Even this didn't show a problem

I
live in Northern Lower Mi. Based at a Joint civil military base. Today
I flew across to the west side of the state. Lost both 430 and 396
signals. All the way over and most of the way back! Could not even use
the VOR in the 430! Froze with a big yellow caution sign! Called
Garmin, first question they ask- Are you near any military
installations? Hmm! Anybody else have similar experiences? I really
don't think it is my system. Don Grabiel
