TheIntelFrog@mastodon.social Welcome!! Nice to see you make the jump.
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.

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.

@ExplodingLemur Wow, you are going hard core with that outside in that heat!
Let me know how it goes running that long list of services.
Very interested in your build and results.
@ExplodingLemur Yaah... thats a solid load with the HFDL x 2.
Super interested in how all that goes... I think you are right, adding Iridium to that lot will be an ask.
Amazing little machine to do all that... are you running all those now?
@ExplodingLemur That is amazing that they have changed their tune on the antenna so much! Thanks for the heads up. I may have to touch up my docs page about that one.
Hard to say on the J3455 as a lot of the Iridium guys are using that one, but not sure what other stuff they and them are doing on there.
Oddly, the worse the antenna, the easier life is on the computer CPU, so if you want to dip your toe in the Iridium pool, just get started with what you have and see how it goes with very little cost and time invested.
@dnsprincess The usual, turning radio waves (RF) into data for #osint food.
Of late, that means refining the code to better get my satellite dish to track the damn #geostationary sat!
@ai6yr yup, I have an entire page just for UAVs on ADSB on my site. Even have their own Gantt chart (that needs some love).
I'm more interested in SATCOM stuff and if these repurposed UAVs will use ADSC when out over the ocean in their new roles.
@ai6yr Interesting. I am not sure I have any ADSC filters setup for UAV's, just ADSB.
(Right or wrong, I put Mode-S in the ADSB bucket, ie, its still 1090Mhz and not SATCOM).
I have a lot of #OSINT folks that follow my data to try and see these Hyper-launch tests, so need to keep a better eye out.
Thanks for the heads up.
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.
Pixel 5. B through binoculars.
It's amazing. So beautiful.
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.
Data via #ADSC from our UK satellite dish.

Just finished watching "Good Night Oppy'.
I remember so many of these events even with all that was going on in my life. I can not imagine the emotion of those that were controlling that rover.
The movie did will to bring that aspect out.

Here is a really solid 'global' report of ACARS and VDL frequencies from @AirframesIO
Dig into it and make sure your VHF ACARS station is listening to the best frequencies for your location.
