SARA This Week: May 17 – May 23

ALL IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES REMAIN CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!
SARA’s on-air activities continue to be a great way with others and check on their wellness as well as a boost of your own overall wellness. Those on-air activities provide healthy social contact while maintaining personal distancing.
The Thursday Technical Topic (TTT) session highlights this week’s activities. This week we will take a look at a facet of radio monitoring known as ADS-B air traffic tracking. Using a pair of RTL-SDR dongles, Collin KE0IYN monitors air traffic data received from the ADS-B beacons installed in nearly all aircraft and feeds that information to a service that allows others to follow air traffic movements worldwide. Collin will share his knowledge and experiences to the group during our Webex technical topic video meeting Thursday evening.
