Hi

Earlier this month a gamma event occurred that now has the name BOAT ( Biggest Of All Time ).

It did have a measured impact on propagation:

The question is, did it impact GNSS systems and the delivery of time? Was there a “glitch” 
observed as a result? So far, I have not seen any mention of a timing ( or a nav ) issue.
