Hi folks

..and now for something completely different

Normally I leave my ACARS system running continuously, sequentially
scanning 4 frequencies (131.525/131.725/131.825/136.75)

For the past 4 days I've been concentrating on just one frequency per
day. Here are the findings:

Wed 4th: Monitoring 131.725 (0001-2359)
Logfile size (.txt format) 1.95MB (the 2nd-largest file)
First message at 0008, last message at 2359
Ground stations: ARINC: E G R V X
Plus some SITA ground stations, but apparently they all use the GS number 2.


Thu 5th: Monitoring 131.525 (0001-2359)
Logfile size 1.04MB (the 3rd-largest file)
First message at 0550, last message at 2317
Ground stations: ARINC: E F R T X
Plus unidentified SITA ground stations

Fri 6th: Monitoring 131.825 (0001-2359)
Logfile size 2.25MB (the largest file)
First message at 0002, last message at 2346
Ground stations: ARINC: just the one: E
Plus unidentified SITA stations

Sat 7th: Monitoring 136.750 (0001-2359)
Logfile size: a pathetic 252KB (the smallest file) - mainly British
AW, and only 5 N-registered a/c (N116UA, N173DZ, N644UA and N789AN)
First message at 0636, last message at 2317
Ground Stations: ARINC: just the one: T
Plus unidentified SITA station or stations

All times are GMT
