OGN-R Rebroadcast Stations in GermanyIn the United Kingdom PilotAware has linked-up with the Open Glider Network to upgrade existing or install new OGN-R rebroadcast stations to improve the Electronic Conspicuity between light aircraft and FLARM equipped Gliders. This is the first step in greater interoperability between all systems.
https://pilotaware.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/What-is-OGN-R.pdfThere has now been interest shown in upgrading existing or installing new systems in Germany. Only a few sites have been done so far, these being new sites at
Site Site Name Site Installer OGN Name
EDNX Oberschleissheim Markus Stein PWEDNX
ETNG Geilenkirchen Thomas Hein PWETNG
Uehrde Uehrde Christian Meier PWUEHRDE
Potential Sites Site Name Site Installer OGN Name
EDMJ Jesenwang Florian Larcher tba.
EDAZ Schoenhagen Christian Meier tba.
The good news is that to help with installation PilotAware will supply most of the electronics for free (no charge). This will mean that the club at the site will have to buy the other parts which cost about €200 when bought locally. All instructions are available but in English only! Any offers to translate into German would be very welcome.
Installation instructions are available here.
