I was sent a number of messages asking for an update on the ATOM/GRID network.
We are now up at over 220 active stations in the network, with more being added almost every week. Most recently a blitz on the South West has seen a number of installations come online this week, including the most Westerly point of England, Lands End airport.
When it was turned on, we were astounded to discover it was able to see a PilotAware equipped aircraft, whilst on the ground at St Marys on the Isles of Scilly !
A distance of almost 50km at just above sea level
The same aircraft was in contact with our network all the way back to his home base, and more importantly by the new set of installations in the South West
A great job by Keith and all the team
A great addition to the network now providing valuable uplinks of ModeS traffic and Metar data, such as
Lands End
