Nice screenshot, are you picking all of the signals from the antenna or were you using the internet updates as well ?
I live in Tonbridge and only seem to get planes north of Tunbridge wells - hence I miss out on a lot of the holding patterns

I don't have network subscription, these are all from my antenna. ATC had them holding over Holly/Willo, Tiger and Bexil (over sea waypoint) waypoints.

Its a loft mounted antenna (Moonraker Radar 100 1090MHz) and I have really good reception to the south (I live near Heathrow).

Screenshot of my reception.

Impressive coverage you have there. I must ditch the standard antenna and get one up on the roof after seeing this.......

Thanks
