Local demonstration. All station and aircraft observations shown here are synthetic test data.
Your receiver. Your sky.
A place for your station.
See what your antenna receives, follow its aircraft and keep a record of the changes you make.

Your receiver. Your sky.
Your first real observation
Local checks send nothing. A successful upload proves the connection, not radio reception. Keep this page open for your first accepted position.

Daily summaries of uploads Skylark acknowledged. Today is partial; a day with no recorded upload is unknown, not measured silence. Days use UTC.
Live · own receiver
The sky from your antenna.
Distances and bearings are measured from your private antenna location. Solid segments join observations; gaps are left open. Map mode requests Esri tiles for the viewed area.
Reception, by direction

Recorded, not promised
—accepted position samples in this selection.
A long spoke means you received a position in that direction. An empty spoke means there is no sample here, not that your antenna cannot see there.
These are distances of observed samples. They are not a reception success rate. Altitude is not height above the ground.
| Direction | Samples | Farthest | Median distance | 95th percentile |

Measured fixes. Your own notes.
Keep track of the changes.
Replay is a rolling ten-minute window, not a flight archive. Pick an aircraft above to inspect the actual fixes. Nothing is filled in across missing observations.
Observation and coverage exports contain private receiver data. Review them before sharing.
Know what is working
A signal, not a guessing game.
Accepted observations · last hour
Gaps mean no accepted upload was recorded. A zero means an upload arrived with no new accepted positions. The current minute is incomplete.

Why observations were rejected
These reasons come from accepted batch envelopes. Local filtering, an unreadable decoder and a rejected entire upload are not measured here.
What we cannot tell from positions alone
CPU temperature, signal strength, dropped radio samples and other network connections are not collected here. A green upload indicator cannot establish them, or prove that a report came from a radio.
