>>That sounds intriguing and useful - Could you tell us more about the >>technique of triangulation? By using directional antennas and signal strength meters, one could find the general direction that the transmitting signal is coming from. With 3 or more ships or aircraft in different locations, they can plot on a map, the separate bearing readings from each position. Where the lines intersect is the general area the the signal is coming from.
