Holy crap. That's like the entire SE US for a whole month.
I guess the question is, how lost can _you_ get in 45 minutes of flight time (assuming you'll be able to tell when it's not working normally and when it is)?
Can't wait to see what happens to all the automotive users with their TomToms trying to navigate in Florida next month...
Looks like Pic-N-Pig is out for me next month if I have to find it by pilotage. I will be the first to admit that's not going to happen.

Bill,
Don’t sweat it. The outage is only from 7:00 PM to 9:45 PM. Pic-n-Pig for lunch is still a player. You don’t have lights at Hop-Along so what do you care?

Don’t worry Stormy, it is configured like the preverbal upside down wedding cake. It looks like you MIGHT be OK if you stay low. Keep eating that BBQ and you will have to stay low, like on the ground!

Okay. I will not plan any potty trips between 7 and 10 pm just to be safe. After watching me play indoors with my first GPS, Miriam swears I can't get from the kitchen to the bathroom without GPS assistance. And sometimes... late at night... I don't have a WAAS signal and I miss. the. bowl. a. little. Please don't tell; she thinks it's my prostate or something.
Radomir - no VOR in my plane. I know Bonanza's have them, but they're ancient airframes and have all those round holes in the panel anyway. :-') Ok, so you have glass. I'm happy for you.
Really really miss Carthage. Last visit was with Miriam on the way back from Port Everglades/Fort Lauderdale. It was windy and cold in October.

Sounds like a great opportunity for the BBQ Pilotage Challenge. No electronic navigation allowed, except digital watch. Crew of furthest plane eats free. --

I'd end up inside CLT Class B. Can't see the ground in these low wing
planes, Larry... you know that.
Pilot who gets closest picture of FA-18 escort wins.

If you look at the times for the disruptions, they are from 7:00 PM EST to 9:45 PM EST. Since Carthage doesn’t have lights you probably won’t be flying to the PiknPig at those times anyway.

C'mon, Ben - I've already admitted I don't go to the lou without GPS anymore. There's places i could probably ded-reckon to within a mile of but never locate the runway without the GPS pointing the way... you should see RVers trying to find my runway even with it... lining up on the neighbor's strip even with the GPS telling them it's a half-mile over that-a-way the whole time 
As a group, we've gotten pathetic in our map and compass skills. As a pilot without VOR or DG (and often without paper charts), I have floated to the upper, most pathetic level, within the group.
No way would I attempt to finish a long x/c with a busted GPS, even if it meant RON in a hotel somewhere waiting on UPS to bring a replacement. That's just the way it is anymore.
