Hi Lee,
Shobdon reopened Saturday 6 June, and thereafter on each Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is unlicensed on the intervening days at present and only useable by based aircraft or those with a new “ out of hours Permit”. This includes gliding as it was really quite busy with aerotows when I visited on one of those days.
I can confirm that the OGN-R unit was powered up and the timer operating when I spoke to the FISO about the initial reports of nil Flarm reception. I was informed of the problem by a gliding club member on 16th June.
Thx,
Chris
