Nice pics.  What antenna? Do you use a preamp and low loss cable?  If so what types.

Up near Craster on the coast. Considering buying an RB. Have views North through South down to the sea level but a row of houses blocks the rest.  So not too sure how much overland air routes I am likely to see

hi g
down the road at shadfen just outside morpeth i run the wimo 1090 kit with the pre amp to be honest the pre amp does add a little to the reception but a good clear view and a little height help more.
cant reccomend the rb more highly the benifits over the sbs in terms of support and useabillity are immense the reception capabilities are comprable according to other posts but being computor dumb the plug and play with the rb is great along with all the help on te forum from other users

Thanks for the reply.  Preamp looks expensive option but outside high up antenna seems to be a no brainer. Any chance of a screenshot showing traffic over the East & SSE when its busy (non network). For me the west is blocked by houses on high ground.  Needs to be wife convincing pictures :)

hi gary
will do though my easterly is limited both shots are only my coverage no network flights shown
will monitor for busy time and post when a decent run of aircraft shows early sundays are sometimes good
