Philippine Feeder Update

[QUOTE=paradiselost;54413]Typhoon Glenda/Rammasun has now passed the Philippines leaving destruction and power outage for millions across Luzon (Manila) and Albay (Legaspi). These two areas are where our feeders are located.

The results of the typhoon destruction and loss of power on our FR24 network are this:

Working either on generator or a typhoon proof location:

F-RPLL1 (Manila) Manila NAIA Airport, Ok, not interrupted feeding.
F-RPVM1 (Cebu Mactan Airport) No Serious exposure, Online Reliable.
F-RPVT1 (Bohol) Bohol Tagbilaran Airport, Online, No Serious exposure.
F-RPVD1 (Dumaguete/Sibulan) Negros Oriental, Dumaguete Airport, Online No serious exposure.
T-RPVD2 (Siquijor Province) across from Negros Oriental, Dumaguete Airport, Online No serious exposure.
F-RPWD1 (Davao) Davao Mindanao Airport, Online No serious exposure.
F-RPMZ1 (Zamboanga) Zamboanga Mindanao Airport, Online No serious exposure.
F-RPVB1 (Bacolod/Silay) Negros Occidental. Online No serious exposure.

Locations that are offline due to typhoon destruction-power outage or other problems:

F-RPLL2 (Manila) Off-line
F-RPMB1 (General Santos) General Santos receiver site has been missing for a long time due to unknown reasons.
F-RPLP1 (Legazpi) Legazpi Albay Airport. The typhoon eye wall followed the coastline and had 185 kph winds probably destroying the receiver site. Power outage alone will keep it off line for maybe a week even if the location was not destroyed.

Two new receiver locations in the Philippines should show up this week.

Here is an update to the status of feeders in the Philippines.


F-RPLL1 Luzon Island, Manila, Ninoy Aquino International Airport
F-RPLL2 Luzon Island, Manila, Ninoy Aquino International Airport
F-RPLP1 Bicol Island, Albay, Legazpi City, Bicol International Airport
F-RPVB1 Negros Island, Negros Occidential, Silay/Bacolod, Bacolod-Silay City International Airport
F-RPVD1 Negros Island, Negros Oriental, Sibulan/Dumaguete City, Sibulan/Dumaguete Airport
F-RPVM1 Cebu Island, Cebu/Mactan, Mactan-Cebu International Airport
F-RPVT1 Bohol Island, Tagbilaran, Tagbilaran Airport
F-RPML1 Mindanao Island, Cagayan de Oro. Cagayan De Oro Airport
F-RPMZ1 Mindanao Island, Zamboanga City, Zamboanga International Airport
F-RPMB1 Mindanao Island, General Santos, Tambler/General Santos International Airport (Actual airport code is RPMR. RPMB is an old Air Force base. All commercial flights use RPMR. FR24 and all other sites continue to use RPMB. GES should be translated into RPMR.)
F-RPWD1 Mindanao Island, Davao City, Francisco Bangoy International Airport

T-RPVD2 Siquijor Island, Larena, Sibulan/Dumaguete City, Sibulan/Dumaguete Airport

The one new feeder, F-RPML1 in Cagayan de Oro is online now and F-RPMB1 has reappeared which accounts for the two receivers shipped. F-RPMB1 must have required a receiver replacement.

Electricity rates in the Philippines are among the highest in the world so it is noticed that some stations are switching off their receivers at night time. As far as I can tell, all are on during the daylight hours.

The Philippines is MLAT ready as soon as the latency problem is overcome.

Hi
If you are going to 'clip' the cable ties, cut them off flush at the lock with a craft knife, side-cutters leave a small, but exceedingly sharp, stub against which it is painful to bump your hand/ head/e.t.c. ( don't ask me how I know)
Have fun
