Which is more important: Hardware, sightlines or elevation?

I will be excited to see the mast installed would be nice to be able to see it. Thanks for the update mate.

The number of aircraft and the ranges detected by my FR24 receiver has taken a massive nosedive in the last day or so, and I'm assuming it's due to the utterly dismal unseasonal weather we're currently "enjoying." I'd never previously thought about that.

Maybe the snowfall is affecting your range... but it shouldn't affect it too much?

Depending on the cloud thickness and how heavy the rain is, my range can be similar to a sunny day or I can lose 30 to 50 km in range. I've also noticed a bigger drop (40 to 80km) when humidity is really low, possibly the air allowing for more static (noise). When you have good conditions with little change in humidity (no lower then 45% but no higher then 85%), range is stable.F-YSWG1 and T-YSWG2
