Similar to the Norfolk one in Feb I guess?
So are they jamming all 3 of those frequencies? Or is it some sort of harmonic? Mine runs on 898MHz and was thinking. Anyone have any insider info?
It fecked things up round here for quite some distance I recall, contrary to what they said.
I remember going 20 miles the other side away from it, to fly, and still had problems linking the drone.

Spotted this yesterday Rich thanks for the reminder, luckly it doesn’t effect me living around Merseyside
Strange that it doesn’t appear on NATS’ Drone Assist …. whereas the Feb one did.

Fly over it. 
20NM = 37 Kilometers? 
I wonder what life-critical devices there are in that 1,600 sq.miles that depend on GPS?
Probably a good day for the Russians to attack.
I would hope they have a backup / alternative system!
And for vehicle thieves - provided they can nick it in two minutes or less.
Some things don’t have backup.
Location is only a part of the issue.
Precise synchronisation at 2+ locations is often done by GPS time signal.

That’s a big area!
There’s an interesting ruined chapel at N Elmham I’ve flown round before. I’ll not go back this month then.
Ta for the heads up.
