Maybe turn your attention to the feeder statistics http://www.flightradar24.com/share-statistics
You are currently number 133 in Australia. Maybe focus on improving that.
And as Amper says; You are vital to the MLAT which requires 3-4 feeders to resolve a position but none of them will ever be 'credited'

A big thank you to Amper, Oblivian & Kpin.
That was exactly the encouragement I needed. So yes, at #113, it's not doing too bad and take on board all comments by each of you.
I was not even aware that the share-stats page existed so thank you!
Of the stations which I see mentioned in this region, Rocky River (Armidale) (#151), Tamworth (#64), Port Macquarie (actually Kempsey) (#156), Toowoomba (#43), Inverell (#179), Coffs Harbour (#152), Gold Coast (#35), Coonabarabran (#154), Nambucca Heads (#208) and Ballina (#31)
I can well see how the ranking is calculated and will certainly concentrate on the "uptime" mostly as I did not realise this would impact so much. "Max Range" has been taken out to best ability - the topography of the area prevents more than 75nm south but as far as west, north and east is concerned a range of 215nm is about what could be expected.
Thank you again - let's see if the ranking can improve.....Host of: FlightRadar24 F-YARM1,2,3 and T-YARM3,5 and FlightAware Sites #12042 and #39479 as well as Radarbox24 Site #PGANRB300831 and Planefinder Site #93858 with RPi running LiveATC all listed as yarmarmidale

Well what do you know. Ground vehicles have started to plot at both YBBN and YSSY. But funny they are from F- feeders. Never seen before. Looks like someone at FR24 is working on this problem at last. No sign of them in latest feeder software for T- feeders but.

I'm not sure that they have started again. I saw one vehicle yesterday and that was it. Today there are none. Previously there were always lots of vehicles. See attached screenshot of YSSY from 11 Dec 2014 showing 8 ground vehicles.

Ground vehicles popping up all over Europe today. All data seems from F- feeders only (except the old Amsterdam T- feeder). Looks like changes are in the wind. Hopefully the next T- feeder software will enable the return of this feature.
Update: Looks like T-EHAM53 is being overtaken by F- feeders at Amsterdam.Last edited by Kemistry; 2015-12-01, 23:05.

You have to be patient with progress on this one. More and more are appearing in Europe from F- feeders. At YBBN the local F- feeder can only see them at the southern end of the field. I suspect the same issue at YSSY where a nearby F- feeder can only receive messages for part of the entire airfield. You have to be lucky to see one. If they release a version for T- feeders (eg Rpi) you will get a heap more.

Don't think there is an official explanation but this is latest thread that corresponds to my understanding (but you never can tell):
http://forum.flightradar24.com/threads/9517-Prefixes
If you get and setup your own receiver it will likely be registered as a T- feeder.
If your site is close enough to YSSY you won't then need FR24 because you will have display of the ground vehicles yourself.

I operate both F-YSWG1 and T-YSWG2 (RPi 2 Model B), F picks up further but is also more stable with the signals from aircraft and T is about 20% less with what it picks up and not as stable (since we are asking a lot for a USB stick, software and DIY antenna).
Range of F-YSWG1 and T-YSWG2 with VRS. T has some spikes which I've yet to remove (unsure why it happened when I had measures to prevent such spikes)

I have started sharing my Data Feeds using a small program mostly because there are just so many feeders already in my area and found it works just perfect :-)
If you would like to know more about Data Sharing please send me a PM or email me at james (at) tjharris.id.au
