Hello all..
Just wanted to say that I am new to planeplotter, FlightRadar 24 and ADS-b decoding
I think is great...now I can see and listen to aircraft at the same time in the comforts of my shack.
I am sharing my data on the network ( CYQG1 ) and I am located in Windsor, Ontario..
In my proximity I have Windsor Airport ( CYQG ) Detroit City ( KDET ) Detroit Metro ( KDTW ) Wiilow Run ( KYIP ) and Selfridge ANGB ( KMTC ).
When the snow melts I would like to get a proper antenna for my receiver on the roof... just using a UHF vertical now...it works but I know there is better ...and using the RTL USB stick from ebay.
I am open to any suggestion that may allow me to get the most of this....
Thanks
Chris

Thanks for checking in Chris, seems to be a few Hams on FR24 which makes sense! I worked with FSS/Aeradio for a lot of years and at the end of our Weather Broadcasts we would say 'KEEP ALERT AND WATCH FOR OTHER AIRCRAFT----that may be a good FR24 Slogan!
Cheers/73's

JimR here at Coronation AB, am not much on the social aspect of FR24, but find my self with fair good coverage with antenna at 18 Ft. mark, I may increase the height this summer, will see. Have a lot of antenna work coming to do with my Ham Radio Station. Right now I have a radius of 190 miles, that I know of. The primary rule of antennas above 30 Mhz. is " line of sight", and in case of HF radio, below 30 Mhz. is "propagation".

We are listed as F-CYKG1 which is the public airport closest to where we are. In my opinion it should be named after our station which is private. I won't list it here but we are in Northern Quebec (North of 60) and I work in the tower as a Unicom.
Anyone really curious can pm me for more details.
