What sites do you feed? How many is too many?

[danielhv]

I discovered ADS-B feeding just a few days ago. So far, my little setup is feeding FA, FR24, and now ADSBExchange… but I’m curious, is this too much? Do you guys just feed one site or do you feed multiple? Just don’t want to get too carried away here.

I think the question regarding “too many” is mainly answered by your setup and the network capacity.
Each feeder requires a little amount of memory and bandwidth.
I am currently feeding five services plus a local Virtual Radar Server i’ve set up for myself
