Is there a map somewhere that shows where receivers are currently located? I'm interested in participating, but if my area already has lots of coverage, then I feel it may not be worth it.

I work at a grocery store, and a worker from one of our departments showed me the app. This is a very cool app, because it allows you to track a flight, and shows you if your flight is on time or delayed. I have used this app to track my parent’s flights when they travel. I enjoy watching the planes on the map, and seeing where they’re going or coming from

Quick question for you Guys. If I were to become a 'Receiver Host' for you can you give me a rough idea of the internet bandwidth required please? I'm still on ADSL and have a connection of around 5.2 Mbps / 0.75 Mbps (down / up). It's not a lot but I imagine that you don't need very much bandwidth? I live close to Flers 61100 Normandy France. I'm a 'Gold' member already and spend most of my afternoons using Flightradar24 and listening to my SDR on my PC. I'm an electrical / electronics engineer by trade and also happen to own some scaffolding so antenna mounting is just a formality for me. Many thanks for all your hard work . Richard.

Hello. I am a ham operator. I live in a townhouse and have my radios antennas installed in my attic (35-40’ agl) due to hoa restrictions. There are no trees or anything blocking sky views. Is it possible to install the unit in my attic?

I would love to be a host.
I am an amateur radio operator and have numerous tall towers. I do I start? I currently enjoy listening to the airband with my Icom IC-R8600. TIA

[larsp]

Is it also possible to buy this kit and if so, how much would that be?

[IanCocklin]

Is the antenna ok in a loft space? My house is quite high up and not surrounded by obstructions

[Aviation]

Is it available in the Philippines? :)

live in Greenland, but unfortunately on a lower floor in an apartment building. Otherwise i would have loved to apply as receiver host, living very close to the approach sector to the new runway in Nuuk Greenland.

Can the big white antenna be put in a window inside?

[ShankarShashi]

I Applied to become a host but I am asked to build my own kit, there is a shortage of kit - not sure what is the point of this video 😞

[DeanArnold]

Why are you reaching out for hosts. I would love this but who pays for installation
