Hi all,
My name is Fredrik Lindahl and I'm part of the team behind the FlightRadar24.com website/iPhone app/Android app.
Our goal is to provide truly global coverage for our live airplane traffic service. We already have several hundred volunteers around the world that supply us with data, but we are always looking for more contributors.
We are currently focusing much of our attention on expanding our coverage in North America and we have receivers and antennas available primarily for North American locations where we lack coverage today.
If you are interested in our free equipment offer, please don't hesitate to contact me at fredrik@flightradar24.com. The supply is limited but we will try to accommodate as many as possible.
If you already have ADS-B equipment and want to share data with us, please see http://www.flightradar24.com/increase_coverage.php for how you can contribute. Free iPhone apps are available to contributors.
If you have any other questions or need further information, don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks,
Fredrik Lindahl

Welcome Fredrik.
Just to add that those who share their data using SBS Client automatically share with FlightRadar24.com:

Same with PlanePlotter software. If that option is turned on in the settings.
