Today I had some time to install a new antenna on the flat roof of my house.

The ballasted antenna mast (for satellite dish) is placed on rubber tiles to protect the roof.
Height of the mast is about 70cm.
The coverage improved significantly.
Range went from 140nm on the balcony to 160nm, not so spectacular.
What really improved was the number of planes, which went from the usual 40 to approx. 140!
Also the radar plot show significant improvement

My setup:
HW: Raspberry PI B2 + Adafruit 2.2" display + RTL Cube DVB-T USB stick + Jetvision Diapason MCX Antenna
SW: Raspian 3.18.14-v7 + Dump1090-mutability + FR24 feeder + FAfeeder
The only thing I would like to now is to have something monitoring dump1090 on my adafruit display.
As I understand the --interactive parameter is not working when feeding.
I am grateful for any hint.
Regards,
T
