I've hit 227nm down toward CHC/DUD and out on the WLG-BNE and SYD tracks but I'm hoping to getup to the AKL-MEL flights and the AKL-ZQN track too.

I was quite surprised to see which radar was picking up this MEL-AKL flight last night!

Oh very nice, he/she has a nice line of sight north. That'll be me next week!

Oh, its back. Never know if its being drowned out or only part time

F-NZGT1 back online. The FR24 will probably be off-and-on over the next few days as things settle down (post-tests, etc), but I hope it'll be all good to go after that.

Great to hear. Good things take time! I wonder if MLAT will extend any further south now.

Welcome back to providing feed again! Hope things are getting into place now. All on the new mast I presume? Did you manage to use a shorter coax cable from antenna to the receiver? FR24 is down for me unable to see a/c so will have a look at your feed later.

We're down to one battery bank, after a bombing run by the helicopter. These things happen.

No mast as yet, since I've been too busy dealing with the aftermath of the fire. It'll happen, although I'm out of the country for three weeks from the end of the month, so it may have to wait until I return.

What is a bombing run by helicopter? Water bomb you mean to put out the fire? I had the impression that the new batteries and panel were installed after the fire?

No hurry about the mast... take it easy. What you have done already is good work after the incident.

MLAT has been amazing this morning. Counted 7 planes at once and the coverage was down to Blemheim.

Just worked out why it's so good now. Looking at radars in the filters F-NZPM1 is back online. Hadn't seen it for a while.

And I have another 5m extension to the mast to put up Saturday!
