ACURA Mission Control

Mission Control is one live wall that shows what is happening on the air in South Jersey right now. It pulls together the club repeaters, APRS stations, mesh nodes, Parks on the Air spots, space weather, the club net, and National Weather Service alerts for Atlantic County. Everything updates on its own, so you can leave it running.

What You Are Looking At

• Center map: ACURA repeaters glow green when they are up and red when they are down. Gold and blue dots are APRS stations, purple dots are mesh nodes, and lime dots are POTA activators in New Jersey and nearby states. Repeater pins mark the town only.
• Repeaters: the live state of each linked repeater and the EchoLink node. See the Repeater Status Board for the full picture.
• Club Net: a countdown to the Thursday night net. During the net it switches to live check-ins from the Net Check-In Board.
• POTA on the air: the newest Parks on the Air activators, with local parks listed first.
• Members being heard: where club members’ digital signals are being received, from Who’s Hearing Us.
• Bottom strip: solar flux, K-index, solar wind, and a quick estimate of the best HF band right now.
• Alert bar: active National Weather Service alerts for Atlantic County. During a warning the whole wall turns red.
