The OGN (Open Glider Network) is a system that records positions of Gliders (or any other tracker equipped vehicle). There are 4 main components to the system:
1/ Trackers - The trackers used are inexpensive and usually homemade, they transmit location information;
2/ Receivers - Also inexpensive and usually homemade, they receive location informatuion from the trackers and send it to the servers;
3/ Servers - Receive information from the Receivers and send it to 'interested' parties; and
4/ Implementations - Apps and websites that want to use the data register their interest to the servers. They only receive data that meets their needs, eg a certain area.

My interest in OGN has grown from possible uses for Hang Gliding competitions. I have made some trackers and a receiver, and coded an App which will create .igc files for scoring. At the moment (Feb 2021) I am working towards installing my receiver at my property in Muskerry (Australia).

In the future, I would like to relocate my receiver to Tchum Lake (near Birchip) and equip HGs with trackers for the Birchip FTTF HG competition. If this is successful I would then establish another receiver at Forbes and use the trackers for the Forbes Flatlands HG competition.
