Flightradar24 Feeder Chat

I think the FR24 system is under severe strain at the moment, due to the Ukranian/Malaysian incident. My primary feeding system can't even connect to the FR servers at present. But let's see what more informed responses you will get.

I know FR24 only take ground traffic from a few feeders - my guess that is because most don't see it and any they did report would probably be crap data.

If you're are in a great position to see ground traffic and traffic low to Paine field - why not apply for a vaunted FR Box? It might be worth it if you could make a significant contribution through that box.

Just curious if your feeds did show would the be via the PP notwork or as a T- radarcode

Tracert from the Philippines shows major transit network problems to the FR24 web page and the feeder server. It is 14:37 UTC as I send this.

Packet loss at the FR24 servers running about 70%. My ISP routing through TelstraGlobal has greatly reduced my latency to an average of 327 ms.

Mlat3 is a casualty of this present network problem. Other Mlat areas are displaying fine just the one Mlat3 for Australia-New Zealand is dark.

If you do a lookup of the HEX code on airframes.org .....

Philadelphia?

I'm living in Portugal

Why Philadelphia appears if I am thousands of miles?

I dunno Its what I got from the database, things might have changed. Perhaps some other forum members can advise what they are seeing on the DB's they use.

I reside in an area that has an antenna right next to me

example:
http://www.radioboanovafm.com.br/images/antena.jpg

It may be or may be the nearest airport radar Lisbon

Is there any problem in capturing signal with such an antenna on the side?

Sometimes I feel some discomfort in the head with the dongle plugged

Sounds like you are plugging the dongle into the wrong place it goes into your PC not your ear !
Joking aside, the dongle cannot cause you any discomfort as it only receives, it does not transmit any kind of signal.

That seems to be a FM radio mast.... it should not be able to interfere with signals at 1090 mHz.

Edit: Looking at the antennas, seems like FM two way radio, repeaters and lower frequencies. Nothing close to ADS-B

This is the antenna I have around me

near the top would be ideal for your antenna.
