If ADSB, ADSC, ACARS and Satcom are your thing, you have found the right guy. I'm decoding satcom aircraft traffic one byte at a time.

Most active on https://twitter.com/thebaldgeek but want to do more on Mastodon as it seems more open to meaningful posts.

Its been a crazy day over yonder it seems.
I've been busy working on the C-band dish and so have missed a lot of it.

I have never seen a UAV use ADSC, so I am not sure we are going to be able to track them lining up for a missile test shot while out over the ocean?

And just like that, out the other side.
That's it for tonight. I think the next chance is like in 2025 or something.

Quick post edit on the PC. We about an hour to wait for Mars to come back out the other side.
Such an amazing thing to see and think about the orbits and space between us all. Just beautiful.
Pixel 5 is meh, but its a great memory shot.

Hey @cemaxecuter Do you think we can stream Iridium over SDR++ Server or the SDR TCP server over Wifi?
I have a situation where I can have a solar powered setup that streams only (Cant have any cables running to it). It would be a dedicated Wifi link, no other traffic on it.

Ah yuck. @GI7SOB just pointed out a different FPN format that the SAM flights use a fair bit. Its nothing like my decoder is currently setup for.
Going to need to write a different one for this mess!

I'm still tinkering with the 'auto-generation' of #SkyVector URL's from L-Band 'FPN' (Flight plan) ACARS messages.
I saw this one come in and found it interesting in how I have not seen this sort of flight before.
