AIS Receiver Range Record?
"Holger" wrote in message ... During recent good propagation conditions I have decoded targets a good 350 nm away - with a receiver in Norway right across the North Sea to the Scottish coast and along the coast of Belgium. Equally impressive where stations received across 200nm of land -right across Sweden.... The use of repeaters sounds interesting, anyone knows some details? I finally decided to go to the source (regarding AIS repeaters in the San Francisco area), so I sent email to the Training Director at the S.F. Vessel Traffic Service. He tells me that there are currently no AIS repeaters in the Bay area, nor are there any virtual aids to navigation at this time. I asked nicely, and he offered to give me a tour of the VTS facility! I will report back on any AIS info I learn from the visit. Here is a link he sent me about AIS as used he http://www.uscg.mil/d11/vtssf/Training/ais_main.htm There isn't much new, but one of the documents listed contains the dock codes for the various facilities around here. Now, if I see a destination like "US OAK 58", I know where it is. -Paul |
