LS-* objects near CLAYTN digipeater
|
Lynn Deffenbaugh
Is there any APRSIS32 user operating an RF station near the CLAYTN digipeater in New Jersey (https://aprs.fi/#!call=CLAYTN)?
I received a report from KD2EIB that he is seeing my LS-* lightning strike objects on his RF-ONLY FTM-400. I'd like to track down the source of these objects on their local RF. Some IGate operator within digipeater path coverage must be gating these objects from firenet to RF. If anyone happens to have a capture of packets from RF from earlier today, I'd like to know if any LS-* objects show up. They'll likely (hopefully, at least) be third party packets transmitted by some nearby IGate. That IGate operator needs to be contacted and realize that gating a potentially 100s of megabit pipe onto a 1200 baud pipe is not a good idea!

I saw this in Massachusetts. Is it helpful?

Never mind, this may be one of the Firenet servers which I am connected to.

Actually, with the qAC(WG3K-NJ), I think it went via RF and back
into the APRS-IS. If this is an RF station of your's, then
hopefully Enables / Ports / Log All is checked and there should be
a *.PKT file in the APRSIS32 directory with a copy of all the
RF-received packets. Can you check in there for any LS-FN*
objects? The report was for FN20*, but this one is
probably close enough in FN42. I can't believe there'd be more
than one IGate pushing them through to RF.
BTW, for anyone considering this, the
SZ-* objects are much fewer and update slightly less often than
the LS-* individual (and grouped) strikes. SZ-* (Strike Zone)
only go to 4 character gridsquare while LS-* (Lightning Strike) go
down to 6 character gridsquare and change their overlay depending
on how many strikes are in that square. The SZ will move around
showing the centroid of the strikes within the larger square. The
comment should show the total number of strikes in the last 10
minutes within the square as well. At least, I think that's the
way it works from memory.
