...also, ur narration was excellent, as I've had the same feelings, looking at both new & old equip & in just seeing a hamfest in general, as it so often brings back so many fond memories; & since u know CW, u should get back on; it's so different & so much fun vs SSB, etc (& I've been all CW on HF for decades, hi hi); & finally, I'm a history major from college from almost 40 yrs ago! 73 de WA4ELW in TN 🇺🇸 dit dit 😃
I take it Brian didn't mention that the owner of ADS-B Exchange sold it to JetNet, which is owned by a private equity firm, for what some estimate is about $20 million and a $200K/year job. All of the developers who actually built and maintained ADS-B Exchange are no longer with the company and hundreds of feeders have shut down their data streams and redirected them to new community data aggregators. Best I can tell, the ADS-B Exchange database also hasn't been updated since the sale so the map is showing incomplete or out of date information for some aircraft.
Thank you for the video.
Great video & thanx, 73 de WA4ELW in TN 🇺🇸 dit dit 😃

You could literally come out of that Hamfest and have spent 1K
