The  local NBC news in las vegas reported tonight (5-18-11) that next week, 
piolets  flying at night may find gps unreliable or unuseable do to 
lightsquared  testing broadband internet equipment in a frequency band adjacent to 
gps  frequency.  And that las vegas falls within a 350 mile radius of this  
testing..

Anybody have anymore info on this test. I've been reading  posts here on 
timenuts about likely interference to gps receivers . And   the fcc rushing 
license's for lightsquared. But I wasn't aware of any  tests.  Does anyone 
know where lightsquared is testing its transmitters  that las vegas would fall 
within lightsquared's 350 mile  radius.
