Already purchased materials today. 10 meters of 3/4" GI pipe.
1" seems too heavy to raise up by my self.
I'll try raise up it and install it as soon as possible by tomorrow morning.

Solutions for Mounting Your Receiver Up Your Mast
Originally posted by John-h View PostHi John,
That's good idea to use plastic bottle!
But before that, I need to cut antenna element to resonate 1090MHz.
Attached element for dangle is too long to use at 1090MHz.
I also used 20 meter USB cable in Japan, but it was not extension. It was "Active repeater USB cable".
On USB industrial standard, 5 meter of extension is limitation of USB electric characteristics.
Anyway, thank you so much for your kind informations.
I'll try my best effort for extend range of receptance!

Some CDRKING locations have them and if you are interested call around till you find stock or order them online. Here is the device.

Thanks for kind recommendations.
I still not checked yet. However, I suppose not so strong interference source are near or here.
Most important requirement is resonated element and good ground plane. Then small antenna.
At first I'll try to cut the element as 1/4 wave as you said, then put radials for optimum resonance for 1090MHz.
Trying collinear will be on next stage
Thanks and regards,
John-h

Ten meter usb extension cables are available in Manila. Below is one such ad, give them a call if you are interested.

What kind of information do you want?
I'm just connect RasPi2, dongle, and antenna, then type command described in "Instructions" provided with FR24 site below.
The world’s most popular flight tracker. Track planes in real-time on our flight tracker map and get up-to-date flight status & airport information.
No more settings are necessary except of above

Yes John,
I'm using RasPi, DVB-T dongle and magnet antenna which come with dongle now. I brought these from Japan since I could not buy items in around Metro Manila..
as you said, I could received signals on the ground of NAIA even poor equipment, however i'm not satisfying.
therefore now planning to bring another small sized co-linear from Japan but it will be June. I need small antenna since i have receiver in my office
Anyway, thanks again and my best regards to all of you.

You are filling the shoes of F-RPLL1 which was on a hi-rise looking down on the same area before it went missing.
What kind of receiver are you using? A dongle with a magnet mount antenna maybe?
We are looking forward to your long term participation.
