PA-STARNET Mapping
by balleman on Feb.24, 2020, under Radio
When I first saw a low-resolution image of a map of Pennsylvania’s OpenSky network in public documents, I wished I had a high-resolution map I could study. With some recent attempts to find new sites in the successor P25 network, I thought it may be worth the effort. Like many projects, this one spiraled out of control. I originally did not intend on mapping the OpenSky cell sites, and but I ended up doing many of them. If I knew the effort involved, I surely would have automated more of the process. But after two months, I have a map that I’m content with and am ready to share. If you’re a radio network enthusiast, please visit the Github project, and download the KMZ to load in Google Earth.
