Location & History

Since 2021, our local automated Motus array is sitting both in the Hunter estuary and Port Stephens estuary, with respectively eight and three stations.

This page displays a dynamic map where you can explore for each station and its history.

You can also openly explore location and a few other aspects on Motus server.

A Motus station is made of multiple components:

• Antenna (either directional or omni-directionnal), to detect any VHF signal

• SensorGnome Receiver, to identify and store VHF signal from a known or unknown tag

• Solar panel + battery (low cycle 12V), to provide electrical power

• Mast, to provide supporting structure

Note that you can build any station yourself by simply following the installation guide freely delivered by Motus.
