WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Anyone been doing any AIS ship plotting around Freo with any success?

Gday,

Just found your post

I have AIS receivers set up on the Queensland Gold Coast and in Sydney, currently feeding via VK2HIM. See maps of Gold Coast and Sydney here http://aprs.fi

Would be keen to see a station set up in Perth and share the data worldwide.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_ ... ion_System

and http://www.coaa.co.uk/shipplotter.htm

Let me know if I can help.

Regards, G.

It's a shame Fremantle Ports don't offer the info online.

Anyone near the coast with a scanner and a pc with sound card can do AIS.

The scanner probably needs a simple discriminator tap mod:

You can use either, or AIS Logger is free http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/addyou ... level1=150
