Reading this warning

DNC (Digital Nautical Chart): A reference to one of the regions of NGA's Digital Nautical Chart, used to tell the reader which charts a warning affects.
GNSS / GPS: Satellite positioning — GPS and other systems — and the testing, jamming and interference that make it unreliable in an area.
Position (degrees and minutes): How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
Inoperative / unreliable / off air: An aid or radio service is not working as charted or published.
Until further notice: The operation or danger has no scheduled end; the warning stays in force until a later message cancels it.
