We're looking for community members to help expand our coverage of flights and marine traffic around the Pribilof Islands. By installing a receiver, you can contribute to better tracking and safety for our community.
Help track flights with an ADSB receiver. These devices receive signals from aircraft, helping us monitor flight positions in real-time.
Monitor marine vessels with an AIS receiver. These devices help us track ships around the Pribilof Islands.
A: The range depends on factors like antenna height and the surrounding terrain. For example, the St. George ADS-B can reach up to 250 miles, while the St. George AIS typically covers 70 miles or more.
A: Basic setup starts around $150 or so. We can help you find the best options for your budget.
A: It’s helpful, but not essential. Living on a small island, though, it might be good to know someone who’s qualified to assist. There’s a setup guide linked at the bottom to walk you through the process.
A: Yes, they do! Sites like FlightRadar24, FlightAware, MarineTraffic, and a few others offer free equipment if you meet their requirements. However, you’re restricted to just one provider. With this option, you can choose to supply data to all of them or keep it just for yourself—it’s up to you. That said, getting free gear from a single provider is definitely the simplest route if that’s what you’re aiming for
A: There’s no fixed limit. It depends on how many people you choose to provide for—they’ll determine if enough business accounts have been distributed in your area. Generally, the more setups, the better for redundancy. Plus, you’ll get access to your own ADS-B or AIS station right on your PC or mobile device!
