Sonny of
Podcacher joins
The Bad Cop and
DarrylW4 for the two hundred sixth edition of the GeoGearHeads.
The selection of topics kicked off with the "UTC
to retain leap second at least until 2023." Next up –
discussion about the stress-test of Project-GC which can yield some
lucky users with memberships. Feedback from
ChrisRG and
Billy Robson about GGH204
brought up several excellent points. There were also a couple
articles – "ESA
Declares Galileo 7 and 8 Fully Operational" and "Galileo
11 and 12 mission to launch Dec. 17" – about the continuing
rollout of Galileo.
Astronut shared the interesting goTenna device which allows for
messaging and location sharing without data service. Finally
Subwaymark
submitted a few discussion topics to mull over.
Congratulations to McAdies for
submitting the winning response for this week's question and to
Wet_Coaster for winning the live drawing. Thanks to Project-GC for their donation of
this week's gift!
