At one time the FAA was talking about using ground based broadcast
stations, called LAAS (Local Area Augmentation System). (Which, by the
way, used different frequencies than the GPS constellation.) As far as I
know, none have been deployed yet or they dropped the idea.


That reminds me -- I miss hearing from John "WAAS-is-dead" Tarver.
He was almost as amusing as the manic simmers.
Maybe we ignored John too much and he went away.
Our loss, I guess. :-/
