The receiver location app will look something like this. (although since google maps went
commercial it will be darker). You will also have to use your smartphone to get the height
above sea level in metres.
Station Name
The Open Glider Network to which we supply information, maintains a naming convention
for all sites. Please see the rules provided at this link on the OGN website.
http://wiki.glidernet.org/receiver-naming-convention
In essence please keep your station name to a maximum of 7 characters. If it is an airfield it
is conventional to give its ICAO code such as EGBW for the example of Wellesbourne. When
you have configured your software, this name will then be automatically prefixed with PW
ie PWEGBW
. (YOU DO NOT NEED TO START YOUR SITE NAME WITH PW)
You can record your unique configuration here.
