Hi Dan,

I do get different range patterns for the Flarm A&B antennae, which I

But at least one of us knows about the other.

Interesting! I will have to install a second antenna (I'm

It's worth having the two antennas even if the "B" antenna only receives.

That fills in gaps in your reception pattern. And as far as the FLARM

Not quite true. If you are in an area where the OGN network is active and
has tracked you, you can see how others see you.

I meant the range report the FLARM website offers, via analyzing your flight logs. Those capabilities of OGN are cool, but I didn't think about OGN since I am in the USA, where OGN is very sparse.
