That's the FCC in the US, Bill, not the UK.  Allowing a high-power signal 
on an adjacent frequency to GPS may well block GPS if it is allowed to go 
ahead.  The UK GPS events are one-off military tests, like every country 
likely carries out.

An example of using the Sure Electronics GPS evaluation board is here.  A 
little soldering is required.
