    Please feel free to post pics on the technical matters/hardware section of the FR24 forum. Looking forward to seeing them soon. On another note, what happened to the antenna if I may know?

      And really big thanks to T-WIAS1 for the very good coverage at the eastern part of Java (Malang) Indonesia. It's so good and has so much aircraft movements. if only FR24 can send you a receiver... MLAT in Java one day soon?

      On another note, F-VTUZ1 and F-VMMMC1 are both down for a long time. hardware problem? hopefully coming back online soon.

        Dead short... and I suspect that the N connector center pin is probably the culprit. We are running 1/4" hard-line up to the supplied antenna and I probably was not paying enough attention when I connected the antenna to the N connector. On that particular connector, the center pin is easily bent if your not careful.

        I'm scheduled to go up there this afternoon to get this resolved and get the "real" antenna on-line. But I am amazed that this 800 Mhz public safety antenna is doing as well as it is.

          Finally some good coverage for Beijing, China from F-ZBAA1.

          I do wonder whether it is from the feeder T-ZBAA4/Youlun who got it? Anyway... got to have good & consistent coverage for Beijing now. hopefully more will come online soon to improve coverage there.

            Hi, just wondering did you manage to get pictures? Is it uploaded here? Perhaps I have missed it...

              To put you out your misery, no - it isn't T-ZBAA4, but I am curious where that was located. Unfortunately F-ZBAA1 is not close enough to the airport though, so still missing that crucial near-airport coverage. Strangely the coverage N.E. of Beijing doesn't quite extend as far as S. either... but I can't figure out why!

              It's a good thing that development is mostly low-rise in Central Beijing.

                Not really misery... just mystery lol. Anyone who contributes is most welcome! Both seen and unseen (those whose radar code don't/never get showed but still feeds to FR24)

                Is the antenna placed as high as possible? Sometimes.. it might be just the curvature of the earth where that limits the amount of ads-b equipped plane visible to the antenna. Welcome to FR24 by the way!

                On another note... I do observe feeders T-ZBAAx do have poor coverage towards the NE. Still the FR24 kit still do get some planes towards the NE.

                  Yeah I was hoping to see some photos of KD4MOJ installation. He says he ran 1/4 inch hardline ... LMR-400 I'm guessing ?

                    Sorry, been way to busy the past few weeks! Unfortunately had a power cut in my server room too (hence downtime yesterday), but managed to restart my router equipment.

                    Curvature of the earth? Maybe this is the wrong thread.. but i'm curious how that has a different effect N.E. Beijing than, say, South. What's the science behind that? That said, my antenna can be moved up slightly but might get closer to the building sign on the roof... and wouldn't want that to interfere.

                      Do we have Feeder Statistics available on FR24 that shows the top feeders based on aircraft seen per day? I've seen this on another ADS-B site.

                        no, it's not available. They are working on adding statistics, but I don't think it will be like that other website.

                          I'd just like to know how many flights a day are seen by my location F-CYYZ2 ?

                            I am sure they will add that. This was Mike's announcement in early October at this link http://forum.flightradar24.com/threa...ll=1#post39564

                            perhaps someone in admin will provide more advice soon. Good day!

                              Obviously I dont know what system you are running but I run a program called 'Flight Display' on conjunction with my Basestation software and it gives me just that- a text file log with every flight seen during a session listed sequentially (complete with routes etc). You can add alerts for certain callsigns, aircraft, squawk etc and a lot of other goodies. It lists all aircraft displaying a valid callsign even those which are not ADS-B equipped.

                                I'm a FR24 equipped station ... F-CYYZ2 There is the local Radar screen, that I can run though this website, that links me directly over the LAN to the FR24 receiver. This allows me to only see what I'm picking up in range... however I'd like to know more statistics by logging it all. If the FR24 site adds this feature, that would be great. I'm not sure if there is any 3rd party software like PP that would work with FR24 receiver?
