Using one Raspberry Pi to run two instances of dump1090-fa listening to two FlightAware FlightStick Pro Plus with two antennas Firstly, this how-to assumes there’s already a pi running dump1090-fa with a FlightStick and antenna, and that it is all already working – like this. Secondly, FlightSticks tend to all have the same serial number …
This is a work-in-progress and relates to this article on further developments beyond the details below. The design is antenna B with an additional two half-wavelength elements, making an 8.5-element antenna. See here for a stats comparison.
How to draw multiple dump1090-fa instances into a single map and table using combine1090 While comparing amendments to my antenna designs by running two antennas side-by-side I’ve been interested to know whether the aircraft positions received by the lesser-performing antenna’s dump1090 are a subset of those received by the better-performing antenna’s dump1090 or whether some …
This is a work-in-progress and relates to this article on further developments beyond the details below. As a result of my inability to stop messing with new ideas I’ve deviated (hopefully only temporarily) from the plan to make minor, iterative alterations to a basically-similar antenna design in order to establish the effectiveness of each individual …

This is a work-in-progress and relates to this article on further developments beyond the details below. The design is a basic 6.5-element coaxial collinear antenna with a whip, feedline and chokes and is intended to mirror Antenna B in order to ensure comparisons are equal before moving on to experimenting with various changes. There are …
For comparison and to assess the difference between differently-sized similarly-designed antennas I’ve been running this alongside Antenna B (here) to provide like-for-like data. This is a work-in-progress and relates to this article on further developments beyond the details below. The design is a basic 4.5-element coaxial collinear antenna with a whip, feedline and chokes. Performance …
How I receive flight data, map it on my home network and contribute online Setting up a non-branded dump1090 ADS-B receiving station running independently of the flight data sites then fed the data to four main services: FlightRadar24, Planefinder, FlightAware & AirNav RadarBox Steps Buy parts or buy some and make some – especially the …
My initial (decent) stab at an ADS-B antenna This is a work-in-progress and relates to this article on further developments beyond the details below. See also Antenna A’s stats and design here. The design is a basic 6.5-element coaxial collinear antenna with a whip, feedline, chokes and a decoupling sleeve. Further developments will assess improvements …
How I made the first antenna to give me 200-mile ADS-B range plus…ongoing testing of individual improvements (or adjustments, as I like to call the ones that go in the bin) This experimental learning started as a means to simply test that I’d got an ADS-B receiver working and was in an area where I …
