    Yes not an infrequent finding that the Sultan of Brunei's fleet of A340, A333 & B747 comes over here or Miri to do Touch and Go. You can tune in to liveatc wbkk feed to listen if you spot it appearing near WBKK doing touch and go.

    Any chance for an update about your possible antenna repositioning?
    Not repositioning it at the moment, will stay like that first.

            Ok thanks whateveralsohere! Ah I see you have a ham radio friend? I think we have a break through in improving coverage for Sarawak now, if your friend is willing to help. Did he apply for a receiver as well? If he has contacts of other ham operators in Sarawak and asks them to apply for the FR24 kit I think soon Sarawak, and hopefully the Sea (South China Sea) will have good coverage.

            For your info, key area for hosts is Bintulu, but I think applications from Sibu/Miri/Lawas also have a good chance. Please, if you are able to let your friend know. Ruth who is also a ham operator could also contact your friend, for ham and ads-b stuffs. It is with Ruth's help in ham radio that spreaded the news around Semenanjung that FR24 is working on improving coverage at this part of the world.

            ADD ON: Just read that the ham operator is your friend's friend. Mistake sorry.

                Yes it's vulcanizing tape that should be used to isolate the antenna/cable adapter as we have some issues with moisture. But as the tape can be hard to attach we will shortly start replacing the cable with an antenna with pre-mounted cable. These antennas will probably be shipped from May.

                        Hi there,

                        Unfortunately there is no PM function in this forum.

                        I think it's a lot of new information for him as well so perhaps we should slow down a bit and let him install the antenna first and then he can see for himself what it does. if he is interested then perhaps he can join the forum here. While in the mean time perhaps Ruth can contact him via ham radio. But it's a good chance to improve sarawak's coverage and the South China Sea as he should have contacts and his help will be invaluable. We will take things one step at a time for now.

                        Hope your coverage is good. Once all cables are connected to the receiver and it is switched on just send support an email to tell your receiver is up and running. It will be activated by them, normally quite quick.

                          Didn't look at the whole Asia but I do notice some F radars are not showing up on the map too around Borneo and Indonesia. No problem for T radars it seems. Hence it is always a good idea to have a T feed as backup.

                              can only wait for FR24 to sort it.
