Peter, there is something you can do about that infestation working its way up the pier, but it requires professional help. 😁 Jeff

Curious. A time zone spans a distance in longitude. If I place identical cell phones, Ipads, GPS modules or what ever, at both sides of the time zone, will they read the same time or will they roll ov

Good stuff Ken. I love all of my AP mounts (400, Mach 1, 900, (2) 1200). They just do their thing. Jeff
