Just got my new ADS-B antenna, which was a significant upgrade from my prior whip antenna.

Now supporting power to the antenna, 23.15dbi gain, and have window mounted for better line of sight to the Darling Scarp and beyond.

The horizontal detection radius has doubled to nearly 300km, and easily capturing anything 35,000ft and above.

Just need to put the bias tee in an ABS case now for a little protection.

We now have an #ADSB Rx station at the club shack, thanks to members chipping in to help set this up.
We are feeding many services, including #FlightRadar24 #ADSBExchange #ADSBfi #ADSBlol #ADSBHub #FlightAware #PlaneWatch #RadarBox #OpenSky #1090MhzUK and more.
Group members can now enjoy premium features of some of these services.
We still have more to do to improve the setup, as currently when we Tx on other bands, the RTLSDR goes deaf. Perhaps a nice cavity filter! #1090mhz #AmateurRadio

Example of #RMMA (fka #Jeffco Airport) touch-and-go training activity #FlightTrack over #Broomfield residential neighborhoods. (#Radarbox, I think; #FlightRadar24, #ADSBexchange (ADSBx) also useful). BTW, notice registration # is blocked; probably seen in other trackers.

Interesting to see how much coverage can get spun up fairly quickly; ADSB.fi already tracking 42% the number of flights as ADSBx is.

Number of aircraft being tracked by the large flight trackers at 1600 UTC (10:00 AM CST).
