Alternatively, they are getting some high altitude traffic that you're not, although even Northland isn't exactly on the way to anywhere. Or else they're seeing some low altitude local traffic that you can't. FR24 probably doesn't care what's being reported, so long as something is being reported for the purposes of uptime.
ETA: You would not expect Invercargill to get much traffic but search for NZNV on shared stats and F-NZNV3 reports 716 hours of uptime.
Hrm. This warrants further investigation, but only FR24 have the data to do so.
ETA 2: Uptime is not a substitute for range in terms of utility. Just because somebody sees farther than you is not a reason to advantage them in terms of uptime. That's why there are other terms in the score formula to allow for range and such.
