Hong Kong Radar

[aircraftenthusiast]

To be honest i did not check the radar identity when the Hong Kong radar had better coverage for aircraft coming in from the West.
At the present time aircraft inbound to HKG is showing radar ident T-F4V, not sure if their was another radar ident when the HKG radar had better coverage.

If someone has turned off you would tell by the uploading radar identity changing too. It will say its someone elses ID now instead.

As for moving antennas, thats a big ask. Most people have them on their homes, that would involve moving their belongings and house to suit.

Chances are a building has been errected infront of the area, or a tree is finally impacting the signal.

I have noticed during the past few weeks that the excellent Hong Kong radar now has a blind spot on aircraft landing from the west. When aircraft are on base leg before turning finals for a landing from the west, the aircraft time out on screen at around 3000 feet because of loss of data. The aircraft then reappear on the radar just before touchdown at around 1500 feet.
Previously you could follow aircraft landing from the west all the way to touchdown at Hond Kong without the aircraft timing out on the base leg.
Has one of the Flightradar24 contributors left who used to supply that radar coverage?
Is it possible for one of the present Flightradar24 contributors to cover this blind spot by repositioning his aerial?
It would be great if Flightradar24 could get back the radar coverage for landing aircraft west of the airport.
Hope you can help.
