Hello,
this morning I see something interesting. A aircraft started from Billund (danmark) only a few hundred metres from airport.
Billund is just before my 200nm range circle. Never saw this before. My lowest VRS range circle show me this direction and also to Copenhagen airport.
Anyone know about weather / clouds or something what could be the reason?

Just looked at a DX cluster at 23 cm. There are some long distance calls around 700km. So it can be that I saw a plane starting in 200nm distance.
Few weeks ago I had more Spain radio stations than German in my car radio (sporadic e)
DG9BJA but not a pilot…
It is still happening. Get ground position from airport billund and other…
Yesterday (July 4th) was the lowest number of positions and aircraft seen since I’ve been running PP. I guess nobody’s going anywhere on the 4th, they’re already where they want to be.
But as to the longer distance loggings, it may be because there is less radio traffic covering up the weaker signals.
Seeing aircraft’s starting off in a distance of 200-250nm could be a result of rainscatter.
Suppose rain scatter could do it, but in that case the tracking would not be continuous, just here and there.
But if another, closer, aircraft is covering it up it might just start to track the outlier when the offending bird got out of the way.
