New Stations Added

[Moffrestorer]

PWEGBS up and running again after powering it down for several hours, two days ago. Keith is suggesting turning it off for 15mins every night so effectively rebooting on a daily basis. I will do this with PWKingsto also.

As an aside, I saw PWEGTU receiving a glider local to Shobdon at 5000’ on Sunday via glidertracker!

Crowland (near Fenland) is now up and running, and looks like it has good range.

We can expect in the next week or two to see Troston (near Bury St Edmonds), Alconbury, Calne, Bicester and Upwood to join it.  I'll post when they appear.

Great to see more OGN station being added to the network!

Hi Paul

Great to see Crowland up and running it will b a great pairing with Fenland working in co-operation. Also in the neck of the woods Peterborough is in the WIP category.

And Alconbury is now up.  A single antenna station.

We might have to wait for the snow to go through before we can check its performance though.

Is there a list published anywhere of current OGN-R ground stations a) fully operational, b) pending and c) mooted/intended?

Thank you.

[PaulRuskin]

Now we've added Calne (just SW of Swindon) to the list.  Internal Chinese antenna at the moment, but expected to be moved outside shortly.

I would like to know who is running PWCoventry ?
This is the default - unmodified setup, so it would appear that somebody has not setup their receiver correctly
Edit: I think it is UKPOC - can anyone confirm ?

Hi Lee,

I have just spoken to the guy who runs Pocklington. He used one of GG's software images - suitably modified. It has been up and running for some time now and both UKPOC and PWUKPOC show on OGN Range and on the APRS Servers so unlikely to be them.

More likely to be someone trying to set a new station up without the requisite knowledge or expertise.

Regards

Peter

Thank you.

Lee has just published an updated list of 'Operational' OGN Stations above. In addition, you can find a map showing the 3 groups you asked about by following this link...

Hi Peter
I selected Coventry from OGN/Range, and the traffic centered around UKPOC - that was the reason for my suspicion

thx
Lee

Lee,

I am only seeing borderline contacts around Pocklington from the 'Coventry' login on OGN Range. By far the majority of the traffic looks to be centred around Thirsk and it is all historical - nothing whatever showing inside 60 days on OGN Range and there is no visible station icon - I even checked 0^oE, 0^oN, off West Africa, where there are a couple of 'dodgy' ones but no sign of 'Coventry'. My guess is that someone in the Thirsk area has downloaded a copy of the OGN-R software and has been 'experimenting' (tinkering).

To protect your own position/site, it might be safer to reconfigure the 'default' software to a 'Fictitious' sitename / location.

Regards

Peter

Peter,

Excellent map of OGN-R stations. Thank you.

Hi Lee,

What is the significance of the + integer following “UP” against each station listed?

Thx,

Chris

Hi Chris
Number of seconds since last heartbeat announcement
This should occur every 360 seconds
