Where is everyone getting the information for their Radar Sites? I've been googling to no avail.

I spent hours searching the other night for a location with all the information variables that vERAM will accept and didn't get anywhere. I find that the mro site above is good, but not inclusive of all (particularly terminal) sites. Also, I never found a site with elevations and ranges.

 

The other sites I found that at least had more information were:

Reuben, check your PM. I just sent you the radar sites for ZHU.

 

If anyone needs radar sites, send me (or Dhruv Kalra) a private message.

Try this link:

Then use google maps to get the exact coordinates and elevation

For the terminal radar, I search vrc diagrams for the little dots that represent radars on the foia video maps. Then I plug the lat and lon into Google maps to see if I see a radar via satellite view. If I see the red antenna, I plug that in as an asr9. That's what I did for vSTARS.

Ha, try to spot white domes for the LRRs.. PITA I tell you! the mro website (xml sheet) has accurate coordinates though.
