[ACARS] Channel's TF-ELP

Frans and list

This seems not quite so simple. When this first appeared on ACARS it was 
using (over the UK) 131.725, when it went from horizon to horizon putting 
'Q0' messages in groups of three before trying another ground station

Then one day it suddenly appeared on 136.925 and got a response and 
downloaded about 10 days worth of flight data - the IN/ON/OFF type messages. 
Not sure how long this lasted for, but it is now back on 131.725 sending 
100+ messages per transit [not as many as G-OBZE which manages about 250 per 
transit]

The odd thing about these aircraft is that someone is entering the correct 
flight numbers all the time! Who? why? (just to prove me wrong, as I am 
writing this D-ABXA is LS0000! But it was LS0414 earlier this evening on the 
way in)

Cheers

Ed

PS: good to have you back Frans
