I am interested in the Open Glider Network (OGN) work with a possible implementation around the Chicago area.

Looks like you found a project with a good fun to effort ratio.


The US coverage map is slim:

But a tracking station looks easy:

To get coverage for a task area, you might want either a mountain top or a handful of sites?

Does anyone have experience in a base station configuration that can be used in a remote location such as a mountain peak? This would require batteries, solar panels, weather protection and non-dedicated internet connection?

I am thinking of what it would take to cover the eastern Great Basin area from Nephi south to Parowan and west into the Great Basin.

Thanks in advance
