ADS-B messages, for reasons I have never understood, do not carry a timestamp, nor any other unique identifier apart from the sender airframe hex code.

FR24, openatc, or any other ADS-B receiving network therefore does not possess any reliable way to discount duplicated messages received from their remote feeders.
