UP-OGN working superbly

(1/2) > >>

Deker:
Coming back from oop north, NE of Leicester, the uplink from Hus-Bos shows how good this is even now and how brilliant it will be the more base stations are installed.
I knew there were lots of gliders, I could see quite a few and the continious ATC traffic reports from East Mids, BUT this was a real eye opener.....literally !

I'm working a Up-OGN base station for my home field, today gives more impetus.....more news soon.

Hi Derek

Yes it really is illuminating when you are in the vicinity of an, or better still several OGN-R uplinks and see how many gliders and PAW are about. It also shows how little ADSB is about in class G airspace. I set my vertical separation to 3000 ft on Radar and rarely see ADSB traces which are mainly in controlled airspace where they should be. It was good to have ADSB in the early days to prove that PAW was picking things up. Now the majority is anything but.

As you say we need more stations. However this weekend stations at Redhill and Everton (Sandy Beds), and Poland have been installed. We are working on getting 50 installed in the UK by the end of the year. A stretching but achievable target. Thanks to all who are making history.

OGN at Pockington?
       Grate flight Sunday. Approximately 15 miles away all the glider popped onto display with SD, I currently have FLARM Red Box installed and at 15 miles it displays nothing!! until you are with in 3 miles or less to the Gliders. The New OGN upgrade is working brilliantly.

Thank you to Pockington for upgrading there OGN RX TX Great work from the PAW team.  ;D

Hi Richard

Great to hear from you. the thanks should go to Guy and the folks at Pokington for making this happen. Hopefully Linton on Ouse and Topcliffe will be lighting up soon along and then perhaps Sutton Bank. watch this space. How about putting OGN-R up at Sherbourne this would the be the basis of a great protective ring in North Yorkshire. Any offers?

As you have a FLARM red box connected to your PAW in the europa the you have the best of both worlds. See the gliders at distance then over to FLARM as you get in close. The purpose of the OGN uplink is of course for the GA community with PAW installed to see the gliders and keep away and let them have safe fun.

I know that your close proximity to the sites favours an additional FLARM attachment which is great. Thanks for your post and support

Hi Keith
       I will ask around at sherburn, but there are quite a number of committee members and of all ages, Some with open arms and some with dificulty with new advances in technology. But I do agree with you as there has been an near incident with Burn Gliding which is south by about 3 miles with winch launch upto 3000ft. Burn would be a perfect site too.

Keep up the good work. Sorry for not responding to some of the forum posts but I'm always here listening and learning.  ;)
