AIS Miracle near Liverpool!

Is that because there are no ships there at the moment, or because the site is (obviously) Liverpool oriented, and this map is outside the area they want to cover? I'm assuming he has a very high receiving antenna on a big tower near Liverpool that can receive data from as far away as Ireland as I see targets from over on that side. Maybe he has multiple receivers around the Irish Sea linked to it, but I'm not sure. I'd bet, watching the coverage for quite a while, now, there are no ships broadcasting AIS from where you want to look. The coverage, the linked realtime pictures taken when the AIS target passes in front of his recording camera equipment stored on the website....it's the best AIS coverage on the planet...even much better than the subscription ripoff artists which only give limited coverage. What a great donation he is making to the marine community, worldwide. I have e-mailed a sailing friend who lives near Liverpool (a Liverpudlian!) to see if he is aware of the site and if so can he describe the receiver(s) and their height etc. Dennis. |

He should contact the webmaster(s) and get a tour, or at least tell thim how much we all appreciate the free access. This site has got to cost quite a bit of money that must come from somewhere. -- There's amazing intelligence in the Universe. You can tell because none of them ever called Earth. |
