Radar for Mariners, Revised Edition by David Burch Pdf

Become an Expert Small-Craft Radar Operator Nothing beats radar for guiding your boat through the darkest night or the thickest fog. Radar enables you to plot a fix from just a single buoy or landmark, and it is the only navigation tool that tells you not just where you are, but who else or what else is out there with you. Today's smaller, affordable, efficient radars make more sense than ever for sailors and powerboaters. Adopted by the American Sailing Association for their radar course and used by professional and recreational radar training schools around the world, this complete, in-depth manual shows you how to: Choose the best radar model for your sailboat or powerboat Install, adjust, and operate your system Interpret the images on your radar screen Pilot your boat and track the movements of vessels around you Use radar to track and avoid squalls, outmaneuver competitors in a yacht race, and other specialized tasks Interface your radar with a digital compass, GPS, or electronic chart "This book will turn you into an expert on small-craft radar operations. It covers everything--radar choice, installation, use, and how to interface with your electronics. Very comprehensive!" -- Boat Books "Stands out among other books on the subject . . . an excellent introduction to radar." -- Power Cruising "Radar is an electronic tool, the operation of which takes much more interpretation than any other--too little knowledge can be just as dangerous as none. Radar for Mariners helps you understand how radar works, explains its limitations, and shows you how to get the full use of radar's functions. This book should show up on the radar screen of anyone with radar--or contemplating getting one. I can't wait to go to my boat and stop playing with my radar and start using it." -- Good Old Boat

Radar and Electronic Navigation by G. J. Sonnenberg Pdf

Radar and Electronic Navigation, Sixth Edition discusses radar in marine navigation, underwater navigational aids, direction finding, the Decca navigator system, and the Omega system. The book also describes the Loran system for position fixing, the navy navigation satellite system, and the global positioning system (GPS). It reviews the principles, operation, presentations, specifications, and uses of radar. It also describes GPS, a real time position-fixing system in three dimensions (longitude, latitude, altitude), plus velocity information with Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). It is accurate to 100 meters for general users and about 16 meters for U.S. and NATO users. GPS uses a constellation of 18 satellites encircling the Earth, and measures velocity by means of the Doppler effect. The book explains that GPS has three segments: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment. The control segment has four monitoring stations while the user segment includes ground-based, marine, airborne or space platforms equipped with GPS devices. The book provides useful information for marine engineers, aviation designers, aeronautical engineers and operators, as well as other officers of sea-going vessels.

Diamond Life by Robin Liebe Pdf

Have you ever wondered why you are here? "Diamond Life" approaches the way you look at God, yourself and others. A diamond is surfaced from deep in the earth, cut and polished. Our lives seem to have similar processes. Sometimes we're being polished and other times facets are being carefully cut, resulting in our lives shining out the brilliance God has designed us for. God has put His radiance in you. When He created you in His image, God put His stamp of approval in you. We may look around our country and our world and wonder where His radiance is. It's out there, but oftentimes it's hidden under hurt, pain, sin, loneliness, criticism and disappointment. No matter what is hiding God's radiance in you, there is one fact that will never change - You are a diamond meant to reflect God's radiance. Find out where you are in your process of living a diamond life.
