Looks like I'll be busy tonight after the sun goes down.

There's no post to stand it on so I'll have to do something to elevate it a bit but it's too hot to go up there now.

I just heard an aircraft go overhead, a rare occasion here so Mrs M said go and see how many are up there. The antenna display says 24 aircraft.

I know nothing about this thing but it must cover quite an area. We usually see 4-6 on the monitor.

It looks like it's seeing aircraft over 120NM away.

It could still be overlapping the range of another antenna but who'd be silly enough to install one out here?

The ADSB transmitters on commercial aircraft are much more powerful than the SE2. At least 120 Watts & probably much more than the 20 watts from a SE2. Plus at 35,000 feet their direct line of sight to the ground is a very long way.

those qantas link and alliance aircraft are probably all fifo flights. i think you are looking at at a couple of days history somehow.

I doubt that. I was sitting at the computer watching them fly by.

Well that's a lot of mine site flights at the same time. That used to happened early in the morning  .

I didn't look into it at the time but my guess is that the majority were international flights perhaps diverted a little more east than usual due to weather conditions.

Pilots make the  decision to divert  due weather  en route except in the case of an aerodrome being declared closed.  Nev

That may be true but they might have all got the same weather report.

From Karratha it headed west then south following the coast but out to sea.

That's what in flight weather radar is for and each pilot makes their own assessment. .  Nev
