I'll probably get myself another so I can play with it a little more on my Linux box. If I'm going to run 1 antenna then I can run 2. Tho could I split them off near the base connection? I guess it should be ok if I'm only receiving though I expect there will be a little loss.

I'm about 30 miles from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport which is, supposedly, the third busiest airport in the world (passenger traffic). I'm only picking up flights in about a 40 mile radius right now due to limited height and no line of sight for the antenna.

I can pick up aircraft comms on my old Radio Shack scanner, espcially coming into Love Field, which is one of the busiest medium sized hubs in the US. I expect to pick up a lot of airplane traffic once I get this antenna outside.
