Not sure how many of the "Captains" here check the USCG LNM. But this one I read today is interesting.

MA-BOSTON HARBOR

The Coast Guard has received reports of periodic GPS reception problems occurring east of Boston Harbor in the vicinity of Boston Lighted Whistle Buoy B. Vessels experiencing this problem have witnessed reception problems on single and multiple GPS units. A low level interference source has been detected on the L1 GPS frequency (1575.42 Mhz) in the vicinity of Boston Harbor. Mariners experiencing reception issues on their GPS receivers are requested to contact the Coast Guard Navigation Center at (703) 313-5900 or via email at tis-pf-nisws@uscg.mil with the model of the affected unit, the duration of the reception issue, and the position the interference was first noticed and when the problem was corrected. Mariners are urged to use caution while transiting the area.

Tried to call you once, no answer. Figured you had your hands full, quite a few on board for that charter. Saw you around the B, at one time I was the closest to you as we trolled 180d your direction (stern-to-stern). We loaded up and were the first boat to head back in. Then you moved nearer shore or at least a rock pile....I was inside of you there.

Triumph B/W CC, I introduced myself to you & Bill a couple weeks back. Tough fishing today, we boated 3.
