G'day, I was wondering what the max distance anyone has got?
I have a repeat contact at over 500nm I will place a screen shot up later.
SBS1 ER with Moonraker Antenna (Thanks Big Red) 8)
I am located in Townsville Queensland Australia
We have been having some great weather conditions here which I gather will be the main reason for such extreme range.
Normally I see out too 240 - 250nm
The figures from SBSplottter
Mode-S ID C81885

Long 155.3865
Altitude 34000 ft
Dist 551.2 NM
TRK 65.4
Cheers

Nice job Shaun! Better then I ever had, good spread of signal.
I look forward to seeing how this goes while in away.
