I was thinking of signing up for the same thing as I'm on a hill that overlooks the Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors in CA. Do you have any idea how the receiver will impact your Internet BW? Unfortunately my Internet is not that great at 1.5mb and I'm worried about anything slowing it down.

Just got the marinetraffic.com AIS gear a couple days ago.

Thought I'd share some pics of what they sent and how I have it at the moment.

Details for AIS station Columbia and Willamette Rivers - AIS Marine Traffic

I haven't noticed, but I'm 50Mb speed so I wouldn't. From memory, the website said something about it being very little data. Kilobytes. Doesn't take much to upload a small burst of data.



I do have the antenna up on the roof now. I get about 4000km2 coverage, about 60 miles or so out to the coast from Portland area.


Hoping to get something similar setup with ADS-B flight tracking.

Hi, running Shipplotter for many years now, monitoring inland shipping in my area (southeast part of the Netherlands).
Passing here daily about 200 inland ships, in November so far my upload with Shipplotter was 500 MB, download 38.5 MB so that's absolutely nothing special.
I'm uploading ais data to Shipplotter server itself + upload to MarineTraffic.com and FleetMon.com, sdo I'll guess with S.P. alone it's only less then 200 MB/month.

Have fun with AIS!

rgrds, Jan (middenlimburg.net)

Edit: sorry for replying to older topics, did just see this one was from May...

Always wondered what they sent out for feed providers. Thank you for sharing.

Used to monitor my fleet at a previous job using AIS receivers.

Need to dig my old ACR one out now.
