GRBAlpha: Geomap showing stations's and GRBAlpha's position

Recently, GRBAlpha is additionally transmitting its position in latitude and longitude like this:

OM9GRB-15 to CQ
GPS:1745833211,6645,22.47430,24.90898,343266.3

Therefore I’ve updated the decoder to support this new beacon type and completed the dashboard’s Geomap panel now showing both, the location of stations observing beacons from and the position of GRBAlpha.

However, currently there is no update on position information due to noisy high voltage power supplies.

Let us follow its orbits until the re-entry predicted for June 2nd.

On today’s pass the GPS delivered correct values.


GRBAlpha’s Dashboard

A week ago I was able to work the digipeater of GRBAlpha for the first time.
Today also the Delayed Needronix Digipeater (DNxD) relayed my message multiple times.

And on top, after almost three years of silence today again a CW beacon.
