AIRCRAFT TRACKER / SIGNAL LAB
Trust the signal.
Test the silence.
A working map is only half the story. Stop the updates, lose a connection, then bring it back. See exactly when an observation earns its place on the screen.

From a message
to a trusted view.
The simulation feeds the same browser normalizer used by the receiver map. It runs locally in this tab; it neither contacts nor changes the private receiver.

THE REAL BUILD
The software can be tested.
The sky still has to be measured.
The Pi 4 is on hand. Receiver hardware is still incomplete. These experiments demonstrate software behavior; they cannot establish radio range, reception quality or installation reliability.
The private processing server has already passed isolated decoder, reboot and restore checks. The project notes show the evidence and what remains.
