Hi All
I've managed to get Beamfinder working as I have identified six radars. I was hoping that someone might have their precise locations so that I can fine tune the accuracy of my Beamfinder results?
The radars are in the general area of:-
1. Marseille in France
2. Mont Ventoux in France
3. Grasse in France
4. Valdespina in Spain
5. Zaragoza in Spain
6. Palma in Spain
Many thanks for your help

Thanks Alpey
I just need the three Spanish sites and all will be peachy! :)
Stephen
If the sites are worth using , the radar tools in PP will give you an approx location
Then use google earth satellite view to find tha actual radar heads...right click..whats here...that gives you the exact lat long.
Thats how we had to find the original sites when initially testing the facility
The ICAO docs dont give lat long...you have to do the equivalent of a FOIA application...or the equivalent depending on which country you are in.
Of course there's more "Freedom of Information " in some countries than others !
Could try these locations for two of them
Zaragoza:

Thanks Ian
This was the website I couldn't remember for the life of me.
That's me sorted :)
Hi Bethsalem. I don't know if you still need those data (long ago from the last post).
The exact location of these radars is:
- Valdespina: N42.148011 W4.425524
- Zaragoza: N41.375728 W1.495345
- Palma: N39.543405 E2.745214
More locations info, please:
Does anyone know the exact location of these interrogator radomes in France?

Fantastic !! Thanks a lot :)
Regarding Roche-Yon, are you sure it is II-6? I receive a lot of pings from that aprox location with SI-6 identifier.

sorry yes it's SI.......
Hi, I'm located in Valencia, Spain
I use a DVT-Dongle and RTL1090 version 3 to feed to Flightradar24
From several days ago I'm receiving signals from planes that use SI-1 interrogator code
Does anyone know if there is a new station in Spain with that code near to my location?
Thanks in advance
Hi Conexia
Welcome to the Forum!
I'm up the coast from you near Reus. I too have encountered SI 1. For me it yields meaningless results that are impossible to use in a radar.txt file.
I might be wrong, but I suspect it's a radar site on the Algerian coast. Use PlanePlotter's "Radar site analysis" feature to get an approximate position and then see if Google Maps can do the rest : )
Stephen
Yes, it could be an algerian radar. There's no SI-01 interrogator code allocated in any european country.
Thank you for your help, will try to find it
I´m also receiving many SI=15 here
Have a word with Bev on the PP Yahoo Group , he is based in Portugal and uses the N African sites for his Beamfinder fixes...he may be able to help.
Will do.
Thank you for your help.
