Guest Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well you live and learn. Turns out Silver Dream had a radar reflector - of course it lived in the bottom of a locker as I never figured out what it was for. A series of metal plates which linked together to form an odd shape, I knew how to put them together but never understood the purpose. I even know now that is was an HYE reflector.

Palmtree Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 On a different tack ( ) I was reading today in an engineering magazine about a power cable to be laid from the Continent to the Isle of Grain. If you had to rely on a magnetic compass for night or fog navigation, do these cables make much difference to your readings? Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 None Ian, not even for a magnetic compass and certainly not for a fluxgate, might be handy to have some kind of instrument that could lock on to it though, one could then follow it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
