Hi ya Shabab:
I heard someone dear to me was asking for something about GPS's
interference when crossing over a Bango area. Well Maged in fact u r
absolutely right, As u know when u r sending a signal u should make " Agda3
Dema3'" to make sure that it will spread and reach every place. Moreover the
Signal is very strict and very classy and never change there " Cigarettes "
which is " Marijuana ". That's why they get confused when they smell this
Bango which is very Ya7'....
Mego I'll be very happy if u asked me about anything about Signal 2 and
anything related to Communication..... Hahahaha..
Ahmed Sallam

Saba7 el khier ya mabrouk (it seems i`m the only one who calls you mabrouk) every body calls you mohamed (at first i didnt know who is this mohamed that shaadi is talking to????)
:)
well about the maps you sent ,i was woundering if you have some more, you know that maps are a very good way to bribe me and take what ever i have...........:)
by the way about removing the (SA) selective availability, i can tell you that now i can get as good as 4m acuracy on my GPS. i was in need of that when i was taking a hike for three days in the Sinai mountains some two month ago, i was hiking in a place called wadi el shag.......and for your info ya mabrouk i have the coordinates of some vegitation there (BANGO) .....i`m not joking ,i say it with my oun eyes.
i do have a quetion though ...concerning the interferance that could affect the GPS`s signal. do you guys have any info about that , maybe a communication engineer on the list could answer this for us ( sallam masalan )
