Hi guys,
Although it
is operating - at least in part - Melissa Jenkins’ site....
http://ognrange.onglide.com certainly isn’t working properly at the moment.
There seems to be a recurring problem which causes stations to show as ‘Down’ - (i.e. Red) if no Aircraft Data has been received for a relatively short period. The result is that recorded data is inaccurate and incomplete. My own station PWBalerno for example shows no PAW Traffic over the last 30 days, despite the fact that I have had a PAW unit running here regularly while testing Mode-S 3/D.
Melissa must be aware of this problem but runs the site on a voluntary basis and seems to have time availability issues which result in nothing happening to sort it. I have raised the issue yet again over on the OGN Forum, but there is obviously no guarantee that will produce any improvement in the short term.
In the meantime, the Canadian site
https://ognrange.newacecorp.com is live and current, but unfortunately doesn’t have access to Mel’s historical data (i.e. prior to 1st January). It does however allow monitoring of recent traffic patterns and assessment following recent site changes.
Regards
Peter
