Is anyone around the Wairarapa/Wellington area looking for an antenna? I've retired this one.

Have just updated receivers list at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...nxY/edit#gid=0

Quite a few changes . Those in Red are currently not operating

[Kpin]

Looks like a new receiver has gone up on the Chatham Islands

It appears that T-NZMB87 may have moved. It has been picking up aircraft flying around Ashburton this afternoon, which is a long way from the Mechanics Bay region of Auckland

[Westone]

Have updated the list of FR14 receivers

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...nxY/edit#gid=0

A few new ones. Have also added a list of people who supply data to Flightaware. Only the South Island covered at this stage.

Feeder out at the Chatham Islands picking up an aircraft

Have just updated receivers list at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...nxY/edit#gid=0

Quite a few changes to colour Red (Not currently Operating)

There is also now a "F" radar box on the Chatham Islands and Milford Sound is back

[Westone]

Have moved the list of receivers to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...nxY/edit#gid=0
As things got a little out of alignment in tables when adding new receivers.

Edit. Have altered share access, so should be good to go now.

Full steam ahead with the ADSB upgrades after they started a rebate scheme it seems.

Getting about 3-5 new contacts a Day

Stewart Island flights ZK-FXE (BN2P) is now ADS-B capable.
If anyone is wondering why T-NZNV6 is down lately, my raspi died and I'm not going to invest in a new one just for fr24. Other radars provided me with their hardware, but fr24 denied twice my application to host their hardware. It looks that they don't want to improve their coverage down here.

Parcel Air/Airpak vs Nigerian Air Peace.

Guess they use the same translated P4xx callsign

Winter season is back.

RCH175 (03-3127) just arrived to go into quarantine for the Antarctic season (cut back to only essential supply work). First flight due about 24th from the media release

Since these are stupid hard to get in NZ only a few do...

Someone I know got a filter about the same time as I got him interested in ADSB (got a Miro MicroADSB). Back then it was all hope and no nice tv sticks with modded LNAs added etc So purchased one of these with the intention of sticking it up.

If I find how much he wants for it, would anyone be interested in a commercial LNA https://shop.kuhne-electronic.com/ku...ier/?card=1811
Keeping in mine it was about $117euro (like $300nz...)

He didn't realise it may need a BIAS-T - so no power injection method currently (model he has may be an earlier edition)

My kit has N-type. but wrong gender without some tail making, and again, no power to make use.

We now have a new addition F-NZGT1 Mt Cook area
