I’ve posted a few thoughts on my blog about call signs in ACARS messages and how I display them on the website. It’s an oddly ‘continuous’ topic it seems. I’ve been yelled at to totally remove them from my site, “they t… --- ## [Iridium arinc622 decoding](https://community.airframes.io/t/iridium-arinc622-decoding/163)

Started using libacars to decode Iridium messages and it makes a big difference to that mode. I feel that by bringing the ‘human readability’ of this mode into line with the other decoders that use it, Jaero, dumpvdl2 a… --- ## [Website user guide tbg.airframes.io](https://community.airframes.io/t/website-user-guide-tbg-airframes-io/159)

Massive shoutout and huge heaps of THANK-YOU to airframes.io for hosting my site! Post updated 12th Feb 2025. Updated the map page with the new acars-hub map URL.

Long running ‘real time’ topic of my solar powered ‘tracker’ setup. For years I have been mulling over the idea of putting a solar powered (no power on the roof) setup on the roof of our office building. It has a pretty… --- ## [HF Voice Frequencies](https://community.airframes.io/t/hf-voice-frequencies/110)

There is a list of HF Voice frequencies slowly coming together on the ‘CPDLC & SELCAL’ page of the site. In short… I look in every single L and C-Band ACARS message for either FACILITY DESIGNATION or FACILITY NAME a… --- ## [Middle East geofence](https://community.airframes.io/t/middle-east-geofence/126)

The past few days I have been copy/pasting ICAOs from different Tweets to look up my ACARS message database, after about 2 days it was getting a bit old. TheIntelFrog posted a nicely formatted screenshot of the middle e… --- ## [ADSB timestamped URL's](https://community.airframes.io/t/adsb-timestamped-urls/117)

One thing that has bugged me since the site began is that the adsbexchange URLs were just using the ICAO, no time aspect. This means that when you click on any link on the site you get where the aircraft is right NOW.

Time to fall on my sword a bit here. A Twitter DM pointed out that I had old information for AE048D Constant Phoenix. At first I dismissed it as mictronics having bad info, but it seemed a bit too odd to me that they w… --- ## [Home page update](https://community.airframes.io/t/home-page-update/108)

After some solid feedback from a few OSINT folk on Twitter, I cut down drastically the amount of wordage and added three images and a few buttons.

Three. Yes. Three. But why? Well, that’s for another topic, but please know they are all the same.
