Aussie Feeders

[ylis]

Since 1st March 2020, I've identified 6 new Aussie Feeder locations appearing in the FR24 statistics.

EXT - YSNF Norfolk Island
NSW - YCDO Condobolin
QLD - YBKT Burketown
QLD - YCKN Cooktown
QLD - YTAA Tara
WA - YDGA Dalgaranga

These new feeders are a mix of F- and T- stations and some have only come online in the last few days.Great to see Norfolk Island filling the Pacific Ocean 'gap' and two in Far North Queensland.

Currently 175 out of 202 active airport codes I’ve identified since November 2015 being used by Feeder stations. This doesn’t count any new ones who have popped up and quickly disappeared within this period – nor does it count the couple of active stations who are missing from the statistics.

Shame to see this time bringing the end to the 747 fleet earlier than scheduled

Get to see them from here in NZ every now and then on the santiago run from below.

At least the last run got a ride up the heads and down alongside the bridge at low level

Sorry bhaal, I'm back - antenna issues due to storms(?)
7CF7C8 and C9 signal strengths at my location seem to be a bit lower compared to B8 and B9.
And C8 has much lower strength than C9 (but BB has always been much lower than B8, B9, BA).
These new ones aren't broadcasting TEST1234 as Callsign either.
Have we ever been told where these stations are (at YBBN itself or remote locations)?

Also, has anyone seen any ground traffic around the full perimeter of the new runway?
I have a few local tree obstacles on path.
Wondering if I need in increase my height to see it.
Not long now for some air traffic?

Are they somewhat static? That's still within the reserved military range. Unless they have gone and shortened it on me :/

Australia Mil

Result Range:
7CF000 - 7CFFFF

FFFFFE is somewhat in a non-used/reserved range (believe Japan may use it for paragliding activity according to post)

[bhaal]

Any YBBN folk able to confirm that 7CF7C8 and 7CF7C9 are Mode-S beacons for the new runway? And anyone know what FFFFFE is?

Oh and Kemistry, are you no longer feeding?

Yeah, I tried his site a few months ago, and seems to have shutdown....or? Because he was here in Brisbane, I used his site when others were down for YBBN. It was also good for military aircraft, as he did not filter them out. I hunted around for his email, as we emailed a few times testing his output several years ago, but could not find it.

Since 1^st September, there are 7 new Aussie Feeder locations appearing in the stat’s.

WA – YBEB Bellburn (seems YBUU Bungle Bungles Airport has been renamed/re-coded. Stealth ? )
WA – YDBY Derby
WA – YKAL Kalumburu
WA – YMIP Mitchell Plateau
WA – YKNG Katanning
Qld – YPMP Pormpuraaw (previously mentioned by airnrail)
Qld – YNPE Northern Penninsula (although YBAM Bamaga is still in use also)

These new feeders are a mix of F- and T- stations. They are mostly in the far north so one might assume they are bunkering down for the wet season with FR24 !!

Currently 173 out of 196 active airport codes I’ve identified since November 2015 being used by Feeder stations. This doesn’t count any new ones who have popped up and quickly disappeared within this four month period – nor does it count the couple of active stations who aren’t appearing in the statistics …

It should work fine on the piaware image. (Did you run the fr24feed install script for RPi?)

The required fr24feed settings are explained here: https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wi...ng-dump1090-fa

Yeah, used the install script but it was the starting of the FR24 feeder where the issue arose but think I sorted it as it restarted after I rebooted the RPi.

So have replaced my old dongle with a FA dongle, massive improvement, even though I have ~15m of cable to the antenna. Now to repurpose the old dongle for picking up air traffic comms.

Or you can just run this script, it takes care of configuring fr24feed (it won't mind that dump1090-fa is already installed): https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-sc...for-dump1090fa

Have gotten my RPi feeding to FR24 while I wait for the parts required to have the FR24 receiver back online.

As I'm using a PiAware image, it has made it rather difficult to get the FR24feed to run. Can get it manually to run but not automatically (meaning any reboot or power loss, requires to ssh to start it). Will flash a spare card with a light weight Linux (for RPi) and install everything.

airnrail great to see Cape York online

Sure is - and we can now see the Air North E170s most of the way from Cairns to Gove without the dreaded dashed line (as long as F-YDVG1 is also working.
