Realistically, is it likely to affect us UAV pilots? My last one that went AWOL a few months ago happened during one of these and I am paranoid to say the least.

I don';t think ';clutching at straws'; is strictly correct - during these periods of disruption I have experienced strange behaviour when I was flying my quad and relying on gps, it';s one of my reasons for keeping it simple now.

I hope it doesn';t disrupt Freesat, her indoors will be a right pain in the derrier if it does
