Geelong radar
Hi mate, that’s me with f-yglg1. Its set up on top of the hill in bell post hill, pretty good view of Avalon....
Having trouble with radar view though. I’ve never been able to get it to work? Anyone have any ideas

Noticed today there is a new FR24 feeder with the code F-YGLG1. Victorian spotters might know differently but I don't think Geelong airport any longer exists and therefore YGLG is probably not a valid airport code. I guess it's not much different to T-YPOR1 for Portland which I think should be T-YPOD1. Anyway welcome and well done to the feeder who is hosting F-YGLG1.

Six new airports have appeared in the FR24 statistics during February and March this year - at Griffith NSW, Hamilton Vic, Mount Gunson SA, Narracoote SA, Halls Creek WA and Southern Cross WA.
The stats show there are 749 feeders using 161 airport codes - maybe there are others who aren't appearing in the statistics ....

The stats show there are currently 764 Aussie feeders using 163 airport codes - there are others who for some reason or another, aren't appearing in the statistics ....

According to the global sharer stats I am in the top 5 of feeders in Perth and surrounding areas, but I have yet to see my ID show up. I know this debate has been running for a long time and the last response I saw from FR24 ties in with my view. Which is that its randomly generated from a fixed list according to distance from defined locations and actually has nothing to do with where the feed on that aircraft is coming from. Not that I'm cynical .....
EDIT: Just to prove me wrong, my ID popped up in tracking this arvo.Last edited by Stealth; 2019-05-03, 08:59.

Originally posted by airnrail View PostAll the Oz capitals except Hobart and Darwin have a large number of FR24 feeders but a small group in each city get most of the credit and they tend to be F feeders with just a few T feeders that have mostly been around for a long time. It is interesting to observe what happens when there are wide spread blackouts in one of these cities thus knocking out multiple feeders. Feeders not normally seen, mostly T type, start appearing. This seems to support the FR24 contention that the displayed feeder is randomly selected from those that are actually seeing the aircraft at a particular point in time time. Perhaps a couple of dominant feeders dropped out in Perth thus giving your setup a rare opportunity.
EDIT: Here's an odd one. F-YMDN1 is being shown tracking one aircraft, presumably that is Merriden way out to the East of Perth. Enter that ID in the feeder list and its location will show as Indonesia.

In regards your earlier reply, Airnrail's response is pretty close to the mark and it seems we are pretty much on the same wavelength. There's at least one WA feeder who's ID regularly appears but isn't listed in the global statistics or in Patrick's webpage. Maybe there are others.
I started identifying where the airports were based on the feeders ID (but thats not a true indicator of where they might actually be) to see where additional feeder stations could be located as I'm interested in constructing and configuring remote equipment.
I'm happy to stop the infrequent updates of new Aussie feeders to this forum - I just thought people might be interested.
Cheers

Not sure if you are aware, but this if 'off' by default. And every change they make, it goes back to off.
