Just don't head too far West from Cessnock. You'll soon hear 'identification terminated'. ADS-B costs more than your plane is worth and is next to useless.
The best place to get ADS-B information is from Flightaware. They seem to be able to receive ADS-B information anywhere they have a member sitting at home in their lounge room with a $10 home made receiver.... And then publish it on their website. Why are ASA finding this such a challenge and spending sooooo much of our money?
Good idea. Lets chuck an ipad into each sector loaded with flightradar and planefinder and just control off that. Pretty sure old mate with his dial up connection in Dubbo will be a rock solid provider with minimal latency.
There is an awful lot of Australia west of Cessnock. Pretty sure you'd get reidentified somewhere along the way.
