"Pentagon To Interrupt Satellite Navigation Signals" is the title of the above CNN new article URL. About tests going on this week.(?)

Others might like to read it. It is brief & uncomfortably vague (to me, anyway). Here are some quotes:

"The tests and accompanying disruptions could affect the civilian ships and aircraft that use the 24-hour network to help guide them.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the Coast Guard issued notices Friday, cautioning pilots and ship operators against relying on GPS signals during certain four-hour periods from Monday through Saturday next week."

I wonder if ordinary citizens can obtain information on how these tests are going. (Not to mention, if anything else *could* be effected, like electricity???) I guess there will be alot more tests like this over the next several months?
