LAA Rally
« on: August 28, 2016, 12:38:23 pm »
Will Pilot Aware have a stand or presence at the LAA Rally - Sywell on Friday through to Sunday?
I ask as it may be an opportunity for a Ground Station there to record PAW equipped user Aircraft arriving.
I hope to fly in on the Saturday around 10.30 and will have active PAW......unless I get too many targets!

Hi Gerry
Yes there will be a stand at the LAA rally and we will set up a ground station
The stand will be in the home builders tent

Cheers

There's also quite an important announcement in "Latest News"  ;)

A Pilot Aware sticker will identify a potential new recruit, but how are we, who have PAW units going to recognise each other? Though I will be  going for a sticker as well :-)

We could make the PAW wearable tec, at least we wouldn't bump into each other  :o

I for one am hoping to 'bump into' as many of you as possible - though only in the 'Social' meaning of the phrase.

I will pop in and say hello on the Friday.

Do you want a unit switched on in my office for the whole weekend?

Nice to meet with Lee, Pete and Dave this weekend, not to mention a few of the other forum groupies.

Best bit was right at the end of Sunday PM, watching on the stands display, all the PAW equipped aircraft scarpering from Sywell.

I would like to say a big thank you to Lee and the team too....great to catch up with you guys....The interest around the stand was another testament to the success of the unit now.
It was also good to hear Tim Dawson spent some time with you on the Saturday and was writing code on the fly to improve the display of contacts on Sky Demon.....I hope you guys managed to sort out your payment systems in the end....and sold lots more units.....

The weather wasn't the best on the Friday and a low cloud base made traffic spotting a little awkward.....but the trusty PilotAware informed me I had traffic converging on my right towards the Pitsford Reservoir, Keeping a healthy distance behind I became visual in the circuit.....so reassuring !!

Keep up the good work......

Yes, this reminded me of the scene from the Movie 'Men in Black' as Earth is about to be destroyed, a mass Alien Exodus ensues - so funny

Tim has done a sterling job recently in tuning the Mode C/S representation  :)

Great to see that my arrival on Friday was captured by the Ground Station (G-BFSA - the first confirmation for me that other people are seeing me as well as me seeing them !). It was also good to meet up again with Lee, and meet Pete (exfirepro). Considering there was so much interest being shown in PA, I was surprised that Lee not only had time to say hello to me, but also remembered me by name from last year !

Keep up the good work guys.

Hi Bob,
FYI, you were first received at a distance of 19.46km by the Ground Station - the Receive Antenna, was a little obscured as well.
