  • SSA funded OGN project completed

    From Davis Chappins@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 3 16:09:21 2023
    All,

    122 OGN receivers were assembled, configured, and shipped by me to 73 different individuals who installed them in 33 different states.

    The SSA reimbursed me $40k for materials which I believe will turn out to be the best value per dollar investment ever made.

    List of receivers http://ognproject.wikidot.com/list-of-receivers#toc36 - new stations added as part of this project are appended with "(SSA funded Receiver)"

    If anyone needs additional OGN stations or guidance on assembling or installing your own I am happy to continue to provide support or to ship you an already configured unit.

    “122 OGN receivers were assembled, configured, and shipped by me to 73 different individuals who installed them in 33 different states.”

    Wow! Just WOW! 😯

    Bravo Davis. Thank you 🙏 Thank you! What an enormous personal effort you have put in here to help us catch up with the rest of the World in creating an OGN network here in the USA! What an enormous gift you have given us all. I can’t imagine the
    hours this has taken you.

    With your effort it’s very exciting to see who’s flying, follow their flights, and to be able to have friends follow us in real time. It has real safety value.

    But most of all, if leveraged properly, it can also give the sport significantly improved public visibility. In my opinion this live screen should be the home page on SSA.org…and the social media channels…at least in the summer.

    Thank you Davis!

    Also, big thanks to the SSA folks who approved the reimbursement of material expense for this project. A big step forward!

    Our unit has worked out extremely well for the pilots here on the South East Coast of Florida, Thanks! After taking a look at the number of units installed the non operating number his very high, about 37% of the total units installed here in the US. Are
    these locations no longer active? OBTP

    On that page the number of up/down receivers is probably consistent with other areas of the world. Some receivers are weekends only, some have not yet been installed, some focals have had trouble installing or simply forgotten.
