Message: Dear Alan,
I just want to let you know that Artemis is still sold. NeSA has been bought by different companies and we are now called RESON. CHL is still manufacturing the Artemis system. In fact it is still in development. The Artemis Mark V is released a few year ago. I believe it is the only positioning system that survived GPS!

Kind regards,
Ellen Stuifbergen

Message: I enjoyed your site on hyperfix which I found most interesting as we are using the ATU and PA to broadcast GPS corrections from a shore based station to the lower Caspian Sea region. I am an ex Racal Survey employee and have old litereature/brochures about Hyperfix at home. If you are interested drop us a line.

Message: Hi, Alan!
I found your homepage through various links, connected to navigation. I have worked for Racal-Decca-Thales-Kongsberg-Fugro between 1983 and 1998, mainly on Pulse/8 and DiffGPS, but also a lot on the other systems you describe. Nice to see that somebody has made a page about navigation!

Regards LA6CFA Bjorn

Message: Joined Decca (OPD)In 1961 but worked most of the time with Decca Survey after it was set up by Ian Thompson. I worked all over the world initially on Hifix then Seafix and Trisponder plus a brief spell with underwater section. Finished up as Chief Engineer DSOL in Bahrain for 7 years. I left Decca and joined the oposition ONI for a couple of years before going freelance. I am now retired and living in Suffolk and I would love to hear from any old "Decca Deadlegs."

Message: In my late fathers effects I found a hand held device marked 'Seafix', patent number 787653, British made. Large dial marked 200-400KHz, small knob marked 'sensitivity', small rotary switch 'BC', 'NAV', and same again + 'LAMP'. Is it of any interest to you? I could send pic's if you want.
