July 2014 Meeting - A Look at AIS

This months meeting will be A Look at AIS (Automatic Identification System)

The Group has installed an AIS receiver at Colonial Knob and this is providing a large coverage over the busy Cook Straight region.

This month we will look at where AIS came from, its purpose in marine safety, what the latest directions and trends are, and what the future may hold.

An interesting aside in the use of AIS for VHF propagation studies by amateurs, and what is being done in this area in New Zealand
