Seems fairly useless to me, for a few dollars I can sample the L1 frequency with a dumb device which has no idea of speed or altitude, and do the calcs with FOSS which is in the wild.

Basically a rule which inconveniences the honest and has zero impact on the bad dudes, whoever they are

I have. It works.

Used a huge amount of compute though and takes a long time to get a fix.
