    MAS6129 9M-MPS departed AMS and bound for KUL with some of the victims of MH17. You are coming home...

    Another MAS 747 bound for AMS presumably for the return trip on Sunday.

    22/8/14 National Mourning Day, let us spare our thoughts and prayers for those on board MH17...

        I am using the R820T dongle and its working well. The antenna is just outside my 1st floor window. Have not moved it yet to the top of my roof.

              Lots of discussions going on about home brew antennas here http://forum.flightradar24.com/threa...1-best-antenna (start from the end work backwards since that thread is about 1500 posts). The issue is coming up with a simple repeatable antenna for DIY that doesn't need special gear to 'tune'.

              Of course you could get a commercial one like mine (see my sig)

                  • Due to some repair works to be done, I have moved the FR24 antenna to a temporary location which is under the roof and at a much lower height, so range would be reduced (FR24 support is notified). T-WBKK4 is totally down until all works are done. F-WBKL1 is covering most part though so overall range should be more or less the same.

                      Is your Station still down? Dont see your code. Will be on board MH2626 on Thursday KL/KK.

                        Hi Limpost,

                        FR24 kit is running with reduced range but low coverage and ground for WBKK is still showing by it. Lots of rain lately (heavy rain now) in KK but night flight should be ok... enjoy your trip!

                          Hi Ruth, any updates on your receiver? Waiting for a replacement unit to arrive?

                          On the other hand F-WMKK2 is showing a bit more ground traffic and ranges seems to be further. Don't know whether it's my observation error or not though...

                          I wonder what happened to MLAT trial for Peninsular Malaysia and its surrounding neighbours.

                            Slow internet connections. We are looking for a new server location.

                              NBR,

                              Notice your F-station is showing long range. Antenna re-installed? Did not have internet access while away.

                                Hi Limpost, no not yet back to normality work is still ongoing. Maybe need another week or two to get it back. You will know it is back to normal when wbkk4 is showing a/c taking the MNL-SIN route. Sounds like you had a busy trip!

                                How is your venture into air band? Better reception with antenna outside?
