35 years ago today I said "I do" to this amazing lady. Two awesome kids, wild Australian adventures and an international move later and I still do. She makes me laugh out loud (a rare thing) and she puts up with my n-1 hobby's. We have just about nothing in common and I love her like crazy.

Just now chatting with our EGGD guy about the Iridium map. Yes, its still a thing, but I am trying to focus #avgeek#Iridium#ACARS more than a general hand-wavy map. With the new arinc622 decoding, iridium ACARS is of FAR more value now. I think the map was more interesting before.

Thanks everyone for voting me to take the night off. I really needed it. Getting back into wardriving, got an eLongboard to get some fresh air with out smashing my knees after my R2R Grand Canyon run, just the right speed for wigle. Love this track so bad. www.youtube.com/watc...

Just updated the website 'user guide' with the OHMA page. You can check it out here: community.airframes.... I try and keep this page updated with tweaks as I make them to the site. Its pretty much the one-stop-spot for what's on the site.

Massive shoutout and huge heaps of THANK-YOU to airframes.io for hosting my site! Post updated 23th Aug 2024. Update: Added audio file link at bottom of post Starting with the home page: Quick overview of site health. tbg has email alerts for zeros, so no need to ‘report’ any odd or zero numbers that you see. (But any numbers you see and don’t understand, be sure and ask about). The home page tables are just there to help you understand the data ‘freshness’ on the rest of the site. Of...

You lot have either been sleeping on the job or are super polite... Turns out, when I added @steffanwatkins RCAF button to the trackmap page, I broke some of the site table links. Just found out now. I've pushed a fix. Should be all good for all tables on all pages. As always, yell at me otherwise.

#hurricane#helenetbg.airframes.io/das... If I've omitted any aircraft, just reply or DM me the ICAO's that I need to add.

Hey everyone. I've been laying low due to work and life distractions. Back at things a bit more from now. What did I miss? I see a few feeds to the site have dropped off, will be following them up. Want to dig in Iridium a LOT more, some nice updates on that soon. What else is going on #avgeek?

M3.5 and then M3.9 #earthquake in Los Angles. Both around 5km deep. Nothing felt at my house, but my seismograph sure picked them up.

My rushed 'fixes' to the 98w C-Band dish tracking and network seems to be holding up. This is what all 4 ground stations are tracking right now. 3 of the dishes are due to get some nice hardware upgrades over the next few months. Exciting times ahead for #avgeeks#osint data.

98w C-Band is back up and running. Both modes, 10500 and 1200 burst (mostly small bizjets and military on that mode). I have more work to do on the dish tracking, but am slammed at home and at work for a few more weeks. Working Ok for now. Squawk filter 11|12. tbgmap.airframes.io/
