Aloha,
For the last few days there have been several occasions with multiple phantom (bogus) contacts appearing in the vicinity of Oahu, Hawaii, all with a radar identifier of T-PP1. These are being displayed on the FR24 website, my premium account, on a PC running Chrome on Windows 7.
I have attached a screen shot taken at 20:29 30 Mar UTC.
The ICAO 24 codes are all bogus, typically in the A10XXX and C00XXX series. It appears to me that often there are more of these phantom contacts than we ever see with position data near Oahu. In some cases it appears that the phantom contacts may be a delayed duplicate (except for ICAO 24 code) of a valid contact being provided by another T or F feeder. At other times there are no valid contacts near the phantom.
If a known system problem I'd appreciate knowing that, as well as whether or not there is anything I can do to eliminate the spurious contacts.
Mahalo,
