[FPSPACE] OT : SBS1 virtual radar box users

[John Locker]

Bit OT this , although it does have a bearing on NASA flight movements 
etc...

I would be interested to hear from anyone on list who operates a Kinetic 
SBS1 virtual radar box in the USA.
The reason for this is that over here in Europe we have set up a network of 
Planeplotter ground stations  and are using multilateration to locate and 
track
biz jets and those a/c that  do not  put out full ADS-B signals.

As this is a bit off topic I won't go into too much detail , but to see an 
example of what can be done , have a look at

On the screen can be seen normal commercial traffic which "plots" by default 
, but notice also the track of the  U2 weaving down through the other
plots , located via Planeplotter Multilateration [ MLat] which would not 
normally be visible.


By all means drop me a line by pm if you are a US based SBS1 user or want 
further info
