      Hello there,

      neat and tidy your station...

      oh my... that antenna, that really big one. HUGE. for HF is it?

      It's up to you which cable you wanna go for... both will do good. Is there enough space to mount the ADS-B antenna higher???

      thanks for sharing!

      • i will pick down the d777 from the top because i 'm changing that vertical antenna with an home made 10 elements yagi to cover all my north . in this moment i can receive Rome , Milan , Florence , Pisa App, twr and radar but i would like to receive Padova radar in north east of my country, and i need more dBs.

        this is the station from down the street

          THAT poor competitor now has to send out 350 to 600 receivers ( as claimed 9 to 15 times more receivers than competitions ) to provide their "unique" coverage. LOL

            Just so everyone knows.... LMR-600 is even better then LMR-400 but costs twice as much.

            Loss in dB per 100 ft @ 1200 MHz

            RG-58 = 21.1 dB
            LMR-400 = 4.8 dB
            LMR-600 = 3.1 dB

            LMR-400 has 1/4 the loss of RG58
            LMR-600 has 1/7 the loss of RG58

                • Hi guys, this is my first post here!
                  Just wanted to say that job that you are doimg is great!

                  Anyways, I have submitted an application for getting free equipment. I live in Croatia, near 2 airports. I met all requirements for installing. What chances do I have?
                  It would be really great to help you out.

                  • It very much depends on your location. In areas where we need receivers, we tend to accept a bit worse locations just to get first coverage. Once we have coverage in an area or many applications, our requirements increase. In Croatia we are starting to get MLAT coverage so we will only accept locations with very good visibility, that we really help us with MLAT coverage.

                    You can find some statistics in this post: http://forum.flightradar24.com/threa...ll=1#post39386

                    • How do you determine visibility?

                      • From Google Maps / Earth and from the pictures we request from some applications. Since a couple of months back we have a very nice tool to semi-automatically handle all applications, that helps us select the best locations.

                            I'm not Mike ... But I see lots of flights there, mainly tracked by "F-" radars - maybe you have a filters stopping you seeing them.

                              I have too slow Internet to check now, but I don't think we have any FR24 box feeders in B&H. I think we have received one single application but the location was quite bad.
