It looks it from the front not the back by the way my station 500649 was linked up very happy with it..

Spent the bank holiday on the roof replacing my useless, rusted old TV pole with a new mast. Airnav ADS-B and Comet AB-380 airband antennas on a custom stainless steel bracket that took some serious effort to get into shape.
I'm in almost the highest point in town and with the mast clear of all of the surrounding rooftops (10m above street, 124m AMSL). Seem to get particularly good coverage North and West towards the Irish Sea and Scotland, but Peak District hill shadow to the East. The polar plot covers nearly the whole of the England and most of the UK after a week of operation and I'm very pleased with the results.

Can't speak so highly of the Comet antenna though, I'm relatively new to SDR (using an AirSpy R2) I can get Scottish control reliably but EGCC tower and ATIS are weak and might just be obstructed by Alderly Edge.

Looking good, serious coverage!!

Hi,
Just joined this Radarbox monitoring of planes.
Two years ago I started my first Radio project and that is " Radio Meteor Observation " or as it is called RMO (www.rmob.org) with a RTL-SDR dongle and a DIY 4 element Yagi antenna for the frequency of 174.31 MHz.
At the same time in order to understand the SDR radio stuff I made a little 1090 MHz antenna and then it started collecting dust until two days after getting my USB Flightstick I installed the Antenna again and now it is monitoring on a 24/7 PC the planes over my location.
Below the non professional set up of the two antennas. On the top of the PVC pipe the tiny 137mm dipole for 1090MHz. The dipole is 8.3 meters over ground level and ground level is 1950meter over sea level.
BTW I am also an amateur astronomer with an Observatory in the garden of the house.
