Yes, using VRS as Plane Plotter has been a pain to use (drops all streams for no reason at all).

Sadly my FR24 box changed IP (due to the router having changes made due to NBN issues) while I was out of town, so it didn't log from Friday evening though til Sunday evening. My RPi did log but range with it on a home built antenna isn't great.
G'day Robert,
Thanks for the info.
That would be good fun to be near the local airport.
I often wondered about the TX power level differences between the plane sizes.
Yes I hear what your saying about the flood plain. Its painful to try and get decent reception out of Wagga itself as there are low level hills all around. Your VRS map was impressive though, all things considered.
