(US Pilots) AOPA article: ongoing GPS interference testing

[Kdavis2269]

I found this article interesting and worth sharing. I'm not sure what affect the testing would have on UAS operations.

I flew my trio those days of 6-10 Feb in the article and had no problem with GPS.

I realize there are aircraft flying at all hours of the day and night but you would think they could limit the test to nighttime hours to cause a minimum about of disturbance to ATC and aircraft. Something like not doing highway construction during rush hour on weekdays.
