have a surveying friend down in West Virginia who might rather take crossing
lines of position than run a traverse or triangulations from a couple of
distant monuments and build a new tower.  The traditional navigation
procedure would take multiple sights and tenths of seconds timing to get a
better fix than the newer consumer grade GPS; but he can still do that in
theory. "

I'm not sure if you were implying otherwise, but none of this would be
"un-done" by the elimination of leap seconds. The procedures would have to
be slightly modified. And that's what I think would be nice for us to work
out here on the list. What are the exact changes that would take place in
the various procedures of traditional navigation and position-finding? I am
very confident that it would all still work, and, for the most part, with
minimal modification.
