Hi all,

I did also just notice that I received this from Timothy (thanks Timothy!), and 
somehow missed it in an email avalanche at the time.

Sincerely,
Katie

Without making any commitment to an OCLUG presentation...

Gliding clubs in Canada and around the globe have a project called Open
Glider Network (OGN).

http://wiki.glidernet.org/about

Aircraft are using a proprietary collision avoidance device called a
Flarm -or- an inexpensive, programmable GPS/radio such as a TTGO T-Beam.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=TTGO+t-beam=newext=v328-1=web

Those devices transmit their positions.

Dotted around the landscape are land-based OGN receivers that feed
captured positions into the OGN database on the Internet. Live tracking
can be seen at

https://live.glidernet.org/#c=45.60741,-75.12966=10=NaN=1=1=r=3=i=0

There is no live traffic ATM, but it sometimes looks like this

It looks like the same thing affected the L3GO list last Tuesday too...

I'm expecting another posting tomorrow morning.
