jaskel, do you submit to flightradar24.com ? Recently I've been toying with a RTL SDR USB stick + RTL1090 app. The cheapest ADS-B receiver to date. I just need to improve my antenna when I next get the time. Was looking at using a USB balun to put the USB stick in the roof cavity, so the coax to the...
