Cobbled together an antenna (OK, OK - a short hunk of wire stuck onto a coax connector), stuck it outside on the end of a fence, loaded the software onto an SD card and the durned thing booted right up and started running.
Going to give it a day to collect data - already have stuff coming in but want to get 24 hours before I start publicizing it. Fun stuff - let it run in the background and check in every so often. It will be interesting when someone asks about "that airplane" that was flying overhead. They have a cell phone app that links in to your account.
Next up? Build a better antenna and make a permanent mount.
A lot of fun? $20 plus tax? win/win
