ai6yr,

Hmm, HH-60 Pavehawk, JOLLY96 making an awful lot of noise tonight.

@ai6yr

crews are ramping up for summer.

"Effective Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 0800 hours ... [we] will transition into Wildland Fire Season. Dispatches for
wildland incidents will be enhanced to reflect in-season apparatus requirements based on specific zone threat levels."

Dozers and Air Ops are ramping up and getting checked off on their certs & quals for the season... there's been a lot of interagency trainings and what not going over the past few weeks.

ai6yr,

@MsMerope Well, that one is an Air Force rescue chopper, I think... that said, the MAFFS aircraft are EVERYWHERE this week.

I got a new outdoor antenna for my rig. It increased my range by over 100 nm.

My next step will be getting a Raspberry Pie so I can use FlightAware's PiAware system, which is going to run me around $150.00. I have to save up for it so it will be a month or so before I get it.

The reception from my Virtual Radar ADS-B display which shows a lot of aircraft data

@Susan_Larson_TN
Cool.

I should get my system setup again. I live under the flight path for a runway. At least it is only a small airport, and it's short runway.

Looks like the traffic above my head is growing. I am getting data from all those planes with my RTL-SDR and a DIY antenna

@stfn I see only one route that is not straight. Do they all just passing by?

@stfn@fosstodon.org avatar

@mikolasan I have a typical problem of ground-based radars, I mostly see airplanes that are high in cruise altitude. Only the ones in the bottom right are low, as they are landing at the nearest airport

ai6yr,

POTUS in Ventura County (well.. Ventura County airspace, at least).

@ai6yr Be interesting if he helicopters into SBA from San Francisco…

ai6yr,

USMC flight that crashed was TIGER11, AE4B95.

ai6yr,

@zl2tod Thanks.

ai6yr,

Hmm, wonder what this is all about.

ai6yr,

@BakerRL75 Unrelated exercise nearby IMHO.

@ai6yr @BakerRL75 If I know my Marines only if they were given news…

CNN: Taylor Swift's attorneys are threatening legal action against Florida college student @jxck_sweeney who posts publicly available flight tracking data from the superstar's private jet. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/06/tech/taylor-swift-private-jet-tracker/index.html

@ai6yr interesting, people do that here for Musk.

ai6yr,

@rolandelli Same source code for tracking any plane...

And I'm back to collecting aircraft positions using and FlightAware

@stfn I feed adsb.fi after the adsbexchange sell out.

Looks like maybe a low level gap in your area...

https://globe.adsb.fi/?icao=48c584

random plane that was in the area when I looked.

stfn,
@stfn@fosstodon.org avatar

@firephoto yeah, I have some low hills in front of me, so low flying aircraft hide behind them. And I only see maybe 150 degrees, from south west to north

ai6yr,

Hmm, quite the solar flare today, per the NOAA -- it appears aircraft radios were affected.

@W6KME@mastodon.radio avatar

@ai6yr But propagation overnight should be awesome, probably all the way up to 15m

@ai6yr sunfarts 😵

ai6yr,

Working on fixing up my plane bot code, but find this screen shot amusing (the wrong aerial map), but it says "PRISON"

ai6yr,

@volvodadfast Probably.

ai6yr,

@bbaugh @quakes This is a screen shot using Selenium. If I were you, however, I would use folium (if you are able to... python) I do this with @nwstornado_bot and @easwatch -- using something like this.

I know there are plenty of folks here who are nerds but what about ? Are there open AIS networks like that have been built for capturing ADSB data?

ai6yr,

@vk3xe Yes, at least here in Southern California, where I am. Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club (SBARC) has a combo ADSB/AIS reception location on a hill here. https://www.sbarc.org/ais-marinetraffic-system/

ai6yr,

Really should get this bot working normally... https://m.ai6yr.org/

ai6yr,

Detector definitely works, logic for posting (and screen shots) not.

@ai6yr oh nice! - i thought you were doing it from the image 😊

ai6yr,

Ah, forgot about that bot. Now to see if I can revive it... possible flights circling in Los Angeles. Logic works, but screen shots do not seem to be.

@Cvwarren@mastodon.cloud avatar

@ai6yr any sign of Lemonodor on Mastodon that you’ve seen?

ai6yr,

@Cvwarren He's at @lemonodor -- but not sure how active he is here.

ai6yr,

20% off at the Flightaware store, for the ADSB/aviation geek crowd. Good prices on band pass filters and receivers, they typically are only during their Black Friday sales.

@ai6yr one of the cofounders of Flightaware is on Mastodon: @nugget :)
