[TowerTalk] Strange behavior

[Al Kozakiewicz]

It depends on where you are.

The north magnetic pole has been moving at the rate of 30-35 miles per year, from northern Canada towards Russia. It was within the Canadian Artic at the turn of the century; it is now in the Russian Arctic.

The rate of declination change will be greater both at high latitudes and the further you are away from the line along which the pole appears to move.

##  are u sure the declination has changed 10 degs  in just 20 years ?   I find that
hard to believe.   Its  30 degs for us folks in VE7 land.  Same as it always has been.
Declination is changing each year, but a miniscule tiny amount.   Interesting to note that
we also point 30 degs  for down town EU.... so magnetic north and EU are one and the
same.
