So far no luck, but I only seem to get flights when they are going to/from the nearest airport to places south of me; everyone else is going around. I'm not sure how far the range is meant to be. I can very faintly see something on the frequency, but Dump1090 isn't catching anything.

I have some parts coming today to try a ~20m random wire antenna. I got 2x20m copper wire in case I need to do a counterpoise on the other side (which seems to be like 1/4 length (so 5m) of wire?).
