Yep, understand MLAT, but the historical data doesn't show whether it's MLAT or not... or am I missing that?

On that second screenshot,you not only have the east moving target but it looks like another, very close in, moving south east, if I'm reading things correctly, Ian?

Yes - that one is picked up via the ADS-B side. Probably an airliner as it's pretty high!

will be flying Long Marston to Cark and back tomorrow, squawking all the way.

My PA is currently undergoing surgery,  but I  have just enabled ADSB out on my transponder and will be flying tomorrow

Route: Abergavenny - Bath racecourse - Tisbury - Old Sarum around mid day and returning after some lunch

Dom, Cark?, have you been before?

[ianfallon]

Should be flying Hinton - Sturgate - Breighton - Netherthorpe - Hinton or similar on Sat.

Look out for 400FEE via the ARF interface (no ADS-B out yet)

no, but I have PPR. Will be off soon as mist has lifted.

If anyone is flying today, I have 2 units up and running just about 5nm NW of Nottingham airport.

currently broadcasting ICAO:

6003B3
403D9D

I may take the 9D unit out for some distance related trials in my car later, I've identified some LOS places that I can test with.

Let me know if you spot it.

Bear in mind line of sight, does not really just mean line of sight, it is a bit more confusing, try googling 'fresnal zone', and this will probably make sense, and also why air-air transmissions are much better than ground level LOS

[ianfallon]

At Netherthorpe heading S to Hinton in about an hr will look for yours 

[ianfallon]

Past NE of Nottingham airport southwards - didn't pick you up but might have been a bit far away (4:45pm)

[Richard W]

Will anyone be flying near Northampton this weekend?  I am about a mile north of M1 J15, and I could leave my newly built PA (ICAO 406B99) running, I would love a range check, and to see something other than airliners.

[stephenmelody]

hey Richard,

I'll be flying tomorrow with another pilot, not sure which way we're going but we could come your way. Leave it on and we'll see if we pick each other up!

[Richard W]

Thanks, you have PM

[ianfallon]

Shout if anyone would find it useful to have mine running (400FEE just S of Banbury) over the weekend ...
