    I use GPS for work and was testing to see if our HW was loosing GPS lock from time to time. I set up a log of data for two hours and found something very strange. I lost GPS lock from 16:00:36 to 17:08:08 (log edned here) on 11:2:11 (last Friday) till my log ended. I’ve found a notice that there is some testing going on by the US DOD around Florida but nothing for Europe. Anybody else experience something similar? I’m in Dublin.

    What sort of GPS were you using? It might be possible you lost the egnos signal and therefore the HDOP or PDOP settings dropped below a threshold set on your device and didn't record during that time. Have you checked the GPS almanac for the times in question to see what the satellite alignment was. Again it may have dropped below the PDOP or HDOP settings on your device.
