Boston Harbor has not been showing vessels for quite some time now
(maybe three weeks). Does someone know what is going on? Other US
cities, i.e New York Harbor are showing vessel traffic.

did you check the station list to see if the receiving station is off air.

I've noticed that two, now for 3-4 weeks :(

Cape Cod was off-line for sometime too, and the nearest is Portland

Boston doesn't show as a station, only a PORT

I'm in the process of setting up a SR161 receiver to report traffic in
Boston harbor but there are problems with the sr161. The data error
rate is over 95% but I can report some positions to Marine Traffic and
have seen ships 17 nm away. I'm working with the distributor to
resolve the problem.
The receiver is located in Nahant so once it starts working it should
have great coverage.
