Remote Ground Station (RGS) squitters
Rather surprised to receive this in Southern England. It's from the ARINC ground station at Asturias (Spain), ICAO code LEAS, IATA code OVD, about 470 miles from where I am
ACARS mode: 2 Aircraft reg:
Message label: SQ Block id: [Uplink]

I've added some spaces to the message content line to make it easier to read. Normally it would would have no gaps. Note that all ARINC remote ground stations share the same identifier and will always appear as ACARS mode: 2. The fourth character of the message line shows A for ARINCLast edited by The Sage of Milton; 2013-02-22, 10:12.Tags: None
