Get near CHD (and once on the ground at

My first GPS flying was with a unit belonging to my daughter, a
sailor. It regularly lost signal over PSM, the former Pease Air Force
Base; I used to suspect a left-over top secret ray to blind incoming
missiles. I live a couple miles across Great Bay from PSM, and the
only way I could get that GPS to find a signal was to set it on the
dock for half an hour. Very odd.

But once I acquired a GPS of my own, that problem disappeared. It
seemed to have been peculiar to that unit.
