Unusual RadarBox Network Locations

[Rodolfo]

HI ROD
SINCE LAST WEEK, I HAVE INSTALLED ONE OF MY RADAR BOX IN CANCUN, TO HAVE BETTER COVERAGE OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA. NOW THERE ARE 2 RADAR BOX OPERATING 24 HOURS IN MERIDA AND CANCUN, COVERING PART OF THE CARIBBEAN AND GULF OF MEXICO.
GREETINGS TO ALL.

Hi Rodolfo

I did wonder if there was a new box there - I have noticed the much better coverage to the east of the peninsula.

It's great to have you on the network - thanks for sharing!

My friend is a real pleasure.
Greetings from the White City of Mérida, Yucatán.

So - are both of the RadarBoxes on the peninsular yours?

Rod

[Rodolfo]

Yes my friend, both are my. One is in Merida and another is in Cancun.

I will soon be covering the Detroit area. Not that unusual but there doesn't seem to be very coverage there.

Great news!  It's nice to see more and more coverage in North America.  Many of the aircraft I spot from my deck are on their way to KDTW.

I am in the D.C. area now. There seems to be decent coverage here. When I'm back in the Detroit area its possible that I could be the first Radarbox there or at least among the very few. I get to London quite a bit and would buy Radio User magazine. That is where I discovered the Radarbox.

Hi Rod

I am currently feeding intermittently from Bintan (near Singapore) whilst on holiday.
However I am getting many more aircraft tracking on Plane Plotter than on Air Nav.
The PP feed is from my Air Nav so not sure why this is happening.  I have noticed before that Ainav takes longer to start tracking aircraft than my Basestation does and it loses them more quickly as well.  Have not noticed this before with PP, but those who have PP will see a better feed from me than on Air Nav.

Cheers

Hi Mark

Thanks for cheching in - I seem to remember that ther have been reported problems with RadarBox reception around the Singapore area before.

No idea why that should be.

Have a good holiday!

I would agree, there doesn't seem to be any logical reason.  The only possibility that springs to mind it that perhaps Singapore being very close to the Equator might have something to do with it ?

I've currently got nearly 1500 aircraft showing on the network, but none at all on or near the Equator.  Of course that may simply be a result of there not being any sharers in northern Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Kenya, Indonesia, etc, but on the other hand it might be worth investigating.

Nice to see returns from the ground at Las Vegas - that's a first for me.

And we're getting returns again from the ground at Miami International.

Here's a new one - returns from Lagos, Nigeria - DNMM

We seem to have a roving West Africa correspondent at the moment - returns are coming in from the ground at Dakar, Senegal - GOOY.

Istanbul's back at the moment.
