Philippine Radars Project is Tracking 900+ Contacts per day but Needs More Sharers
Zamboangaradar (Ariel) and I started sharing with one another back several months ago using Virtual Radar Server (VRS). Neither of us knew exactly how we were going to do this but we persevered and overcame every obstacle in our path, and there were many. Since we were learning on an older version understanding was hard to come by...those who were doing it were unable to verbalize on how to overcome our problems.
Of course living in the Philippines we also cope with frequent brownouts and and unattended restarting but our FR24 receivers handle that gracefully connected directly to the cable/DSL modem.
VRS on the other hand relies on a PC and interruptions affect the ability to historically record the contacts for the reports. Reports start new Midnight to Midnight unless the PC fails to restart on a brownout and time gaps will occur in the reports.
The Basetation.sqb is local. Once you install it, Every Mode-S address is populated mainly for flights seen in Europe or incompletely populated enough to get some software programs to work. To enter missing data, a free for non-commercial use program by the Gatwick Aviation Society, Active Display Lite Beta 1.16.0.30 is available.
The Philippineradars Project so far comprises of RPLB1 (PJ), RPMZ1 (Ariel) and RPVD1 (John). Each is setup as a rebroadcaster, broadcasting all three.
http://zamboangaradar.ddns.net/virtualradar/ Ariel is using the previous version of VRS. Frequent restarts due to brownouts affects his server's feed.
http://radarcenter.com/virtualradar/ PJ is an admin at his work and keeps a keen eye on his latest version feed at Subic Bay.
While my coverage area is rather limited RPVO1, RPVM2, RPWD2, RPMG1, RPVB1, RPVII1, RPLP1, any of the RPLL stations, RPUS1, and RPUB1 would be a good fit to add.
The daily combined contacts of the present three rebroadcasters is 900+. I edit the basestation.sqb daily and provide PJ any missing operatorlogos.
The help file is hosted here also for the older version of VRS. Upgrading is relatively painless if you have someone on Skype to walk you through it and hold your hand. icon6.png
Please consider joining us. VRS is certainly more interesting that television and you will meet some pretty neat colleagues.
For the Mode-S contacts use the FR24 main page with bookmarks for MLAT5.
