ASD-B Summary and Critical Links
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is a surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked. I have setup a local receiver that feeds several services. I started with Flightradar24 but have expanded to include others. In exchange for feeding the aggregation sites I receive complementary subscriptions to their services.
The critical links are found here:
Local servers that I maintain
Chico-KCIC6 Stage2 Aggregator KCIC6 Receiver Lake Almanor-KSVE7 KSVE7 Receiver - Currently down
When feeding stops
Occasionally, the local feed stops. The configuration is sensitive to power outages because occasionally the Tailscale IP address will be released and a new one entered when this happens.
Flightaware and Flightradar24 both will send notices when the feed is down for too long.
Probably the quickest way to see if the feed is working is with AirNav radar - Chico station
Flightradar24 also has a good status page at Flightradar24 Status - KCIC6
ADS-B Reception, Decoding & Sharing
The golden SD card has this configured as the default.
