ADS-B Antenna and Mast Head Preamp
Sunday, July 15, 2007, 10:26 PM
More testing on the RadarBox and tomorrow I should have my external antenna and mast head preamp.
Should be very interesting to see the difference. At present with my antenna on the wardrobe I get about 50-60 aircraft in peak periods and 50-60 messages per second.
In theory from other posts across the Internet I should see a 40-50% increase which would mean 100-120 messages per second and 120 aircraft at peak periods. If it does not go well I will need to move my antenna to the chimney stack however that's going to be unlikely.
Keeping fingers crossed for 100+ messages per second tomorrow and the magical Heathrow ground contacts.

( 3 / 1068 )Three new Deal
Sunday, July 15, 2007, 10:19 PM
Well my contract was approaching expiration and I wasn't really impressed with 3s new phones (Where is the N95 ??) so was looking to cancel after 2 years of being with them.
However the sales person offered me a £5 every month with my normal traffic and no phone (my old traffic cost me £35). So I could not resist that kind of offer.
However that means I am stuck with my N80 for another year. Not a bad thing but if I need to use Three mobile Internet then I will need a new phone (N73, E65, E61)
Or maybe a PDA? Will be checking all mobile sites soon for any unlocked phones.

( 2.9 / 970 )Tiscali take over of Pipex
Sunday, July 15, 2007, 10:15 PM
Tiscali have taken over Pipex which means I need move ISP as soon as possible.
While F2S (Pipex) has got better over the last few months the price £25 is getting expensive for a 4mb service. I am hoping to move to Sky Broadband via LLU Mac code (sounds dodgy)
If all goes well the migration should result in a few hours of downtime and speeds faster than 8mb should be expected. Fingers crossed everything goes well as even a couple of hours of downtime could be disastrous for me.

The first beta version of Reception logger is ready :)
The GUI is not great but its enough for the first beta.
I hope to continue to add more features such as it saving and reloading old reception data.

The app is now nearly ready. Just need to give it a good run and put into a JAR format and let people play around with the beta.
Outline are included for the maps as well :)
