Post by: Admin on April 23, 2018, 08:32:08 am: Hi All,

I have a program which monitors all PilotAware OGN stations to see when they are on/off-line, the live report can be seen here
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lsp4fhx1jlg4l64/ogn-r.txt?dl=0

I have noticed that the following have been down for a few days, I am not sure who maintains these stations, the Date/time they were last seen as online

Would it help if all owners/ maintainers of OGN-R stations were asked to registered their details via yourself or Keith and undertook to update you if changes took place?

Regards,

Chris

I think this info is supposed to be kept on the OGN website itself

Post by: Ben Smith on April 23, 2018, 06:21:21 pm: Lee and all,
I hold my hand up as guilty for PWaldersh, I had to reboot it a few days ago and it is refusing to start correctly, I suspect that the easiest thing will be a full reinstall, only the OGN RF service appears to have started, when I SSH in it tells me “/usr/sbin/service: basename: not found” (twice) and also won’t recognise sudo, any command requiring sudo returns “-bash: sudo: command not found” (this means that I cannot remove the RO flag, so I cannot edit anything!)
I see data on telnet localhost 50000, but both 50001 and 50002 return “unable to connect to remote host: connection refused”
Regarding contact emails, if you look at the OGN station list, many owners have a link to send an email (I do), if you remove the leading PW from the name you should be able to identify the OGN name.
Ben.

A word of note, Paul Ruskin found a bug in the way the OGN waits for NTP to get up and running
he has a fix/workaround you may want to contact him about this. I do plan to add this into the standard installer

Thx
Lee

Post by: John Parker on May 27, 2018, 03:37:02 pm: Hi

I'm sure our station at Fenland isn't working correctly. I have re-booted it and unplugged and checked everything but no joy. Any advice, please

Post by: T67M on May 30, 2018, 08:00:29 am: Redhill tower has had internet connectivity problems recently - the fibre running under the runway broke! A new fibre has been installed and hopefully we should be up from now on.

Redhill also suffered with this big, however the fix didn't really work either. I have a revised fix in place which seems to be reliable thus far.

Post by: PaulRuskin on May 30, 2018, 05:03:19 pm: We have a fix that works now - it's in the latest OGNR software release.

Paul
Title: Re: Stations Offline
Post by: Admin on May 30, 2018, 05:35:49 pm: Yes the fix seems to work very well.
I could extract this out and give you a copy if you wish

By the way paul, I contacted Seb about adding this to the standard release, and he is taking a look, in parallel he has already looked at fixing this himself

Post by: Ian Melville on June 04, 2018, 08:31:13 pm: Is there a OGN-R station at Maypole, Kent? It's on the Google map, but nothing on OGN range reports.

Just curious :)

Post by: Keithvinning on June 05, 2018, 01:35:17 pm: Hi Ian

Yes there was one but it has been offline for a while. I'll contact them when I get time

Post by: T67M on June 14, 2018, 09:06:52 pm: I noticed that Redhill has been down a lot again recently, and despite having the latest software installed, it still refused to reboot correctly due to the rtlsdr-ogn service continually stopping and restarting the NTP daemon, never actually giving it time to synchronise before stopping it and restarting it again. I have now modified the init.d script to make NTP a pre-requisite before starting the rtlsdr-ogn service, and commented out the "while" loop in the rtlsdr-ogn service script which was continually restarting the NTP daemon. Reboots are now (a) much faster and (b) always seem to start both NTP and rtlsdr correctly. Watch this space!!!!

Post by: Admin on June 14, 2018, 09:17:12 pm: What version is this running ?
I don't see any problem anymore running the release from April ?

thx
Lee

Post by: Ben Smith on July 07, 2018, 11:03:47 pm: PWAldersh now back and running on the latest image, hopefully a PW antenna upgrade to come soon.

Post by: Winged_Jaguar on July 09, 2018, 01:24:25 pm: Many thanks. Useful report.

In a typical report as below please can you advise me what the last number relates to as I can't (yet) equate it to anything on the RTLSDR report that I get from the Pi.

Cheers
Chris (PWRADLEY)

This is unrelated to the RTLSDR report
This report indicates how many seconds since the OGN servers rebroadcast a message from the station

I think a few of these stations have been renamed - so they are in fact stale - we need to get in contact with the owners to see if that is the case.

thx
