Chris,
Magnetic deviation from true north in the US is very large in the
Northwest, over 20 deg, but small in the East. It is near 0 through
Alabama, I think. It is less than the compass resolution on my plane
here in Louisiana, about 2 degrees.
To at least mention Olympus, I just bought a 2n from a list member. My
thanks to Tom and John.
I sincerely hope we can get back to the old list and excercise
tolerance, respect, and decorum. I intend to stick it out and just
ignore the flames, but I do miss so many who have left.
