Greetings from Minden, Nevada USA

[W3DRM]

Have been lurking here for the past three years or so but never posted anything until this evening.

I do a lot of aircraft monitoring in this area and, as a ham, am active on our local nets. Have been retired for over 11 years, but like a lot of other retired folks, I seem to be busier now than I was when I working 60-80+ hour weeks at my full time job. 

So, to enter the raffle we need to provide three reasons for sharing flight data with FlightAware and a suggestion.

My reasoning for sharing flight data is as follows:

• The more monitors we have in any area, the better the coverage is. This is especially true in remoter/rural areas with smaller populations.
• As we increase the volume of flight data inputs, we get a more consistent coverage worldwide.
• And lastly - it's a fun hobby that anyone with an Internet connection can participate in!

And a suggestion:

• Keep challenging the Radarspotting membership to bring in new members and thus, by doing so we automatically grow the population of monitors and coverage.

Welcome and thanks for the introduction.

I'm afraid you'll have to post your "answers" again in the Raffle thread tomorrow when it officially opens for entries.
