Letting everyone know, this came out on a Colorado information system. May have some impacts to some.

Ground based systems and flight operations which use GPS can experience negative impacts from this testing. GPS may be unreliable or completely unavailable at 4000 ft above ground level within a radius of 407 miles from White Sands Missile Range and at 50 ft above ground level within a radius of 303 miles from WSMR during these testing phases.

Tests are expected to occur during the following dates and times:
07 October 13 1230 - 1630 MDT / 07 - 17 October 13 2100 - 0900 MDT
08 - 17 October 13 1230 - 1630 MDT / 19 - 20 October 13 2100 - 0900 MDT
20 October 13 1230 - 1630 MDT / 21 - 28 October 13 1230 - 1630 MDT
28 - 31 October 13 2100 - 0900 MDT / 29 - 31 October 13 1230 - 1630 MDT

Perfect time. When most of us are heading out in the dark or coming back to camp in the dark. Guess I won't burry the topo in the bottom of my pack.
