This sounds very impressive George, but where do you get your figures from?


You are easily impressed .

Don't you know what quotes indicate ?

Or if I say "someone said " then that indicates a source .

I know of several methods George. I was asking which one you use, that's all.

You are very reluctant to reveal your methodology George. Why is that?

I was asking what type of instrument you use , that's all .

What do you do with the info ?

There are various methods of finding the alt remotely .
Thom and others managedit fine decades ago , but we have a greater number of options available to us now .
A combined approach is even more useful for double checking .

Your wrong on two accounts , there are various methodologies .
I have explained how to do some of them here and elsewhere for anyone who asked .

If you don't know , it's not difficult to find out .
As mentioned previously ,I would happily explain to most but I can't be arsed telling you .

I know how to do it George. I don't need a lesson from you. I was just wondering where you were going wrong. Maybe I could help?

Depending on the circumstances, I may use a watch, a compass, a clinometer, or a theodolite.
