I am located at Toronto, Canada, which has only occasional UAT traffic. Whenever I look to Skyview978 map, it is empty. In last 3 weeks, only on two occasions there were UAT978 flights when I viewed the map. These also disappeared within 15 minutes.
To monitor the UAT978, I installed performance graphs by @wiedehopf. By viewing these graphs, I know how many flights my receiver has picked during last 24hrs, or last 7 days, or last 1 month.

Here is the thread goving details & installation method of the graphs:
Graphs for dump1090 – my version with install script
To summerize, to install the graphs, it only requires to issue following command:
(Scroll right to see full command)
sudo bash -c "$(wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiedehopf/graphs1090/master/install.sh)"
To see the graphs in browser:
IP-of-Pi/graphs1090/
The graphs wont show immediately after installation. They appear about 10 minutes after installation because these are collecting data to populate graphs.
Graphs update automatically at an interval of about I think 10 minutes.
At anytime to update the graphs issue following command:
sudo /usr/share/graphs1090/graphs1090.sh 24h
Then reload browser (Ctrl+F5)
NOTE:
To see UAT978 graphs, scroll down to bottom. The bottom 3 graphs are for UAT978.
