Hi, My first post.
I have an RTL2838 dongle and running Dump1090. I'v just made and testing a stripline antenna, which if on a 12ft pole sees planes about 180miles away.
I have an airport near me, and watched a small plane set off from the airport, and go north. I was expecting a flight coming in from Spain, but it landed without showing on the map. Does anone know why some planes show and others don't?

Welcome.
Not all aircraft transmit Mode-S messages and of those that do, not all include positional data.
There's a Guide here that may help:
