Adak really being at +176 indicates it is further West of Casco Cove
which is at -173. Moving Adak to -176 puts it 8 deg east of the original
location (but now across the date line) but still west of Casco Cove.



Tell me you are not a pilot. Please.

Did you see anything wrong with my interpretation, assuming standard
convention? I am sorry I don't subscribe to Paul's coordinate system, but if
you took his numbers and used them like most people would, you clearly would
reach the same convention. I should have inverted the sign of all his
coordinates and things would have been fine. At the IDL, signs are
important.

For the record, I am a PP-ASEL-IA.
