I'm around there and my boat plotter (~2005 device) was going berserk in June! Will have to ask other boaters if they had similar experience?

Also, how does ADS-B exchange get coverage around antarctic (i.e. Durban to Australia flights)? I thought they rely on RTL-SDR's sprinkled around the land? I know Iridium monitors ADS-B and AIS from space, but at this point they can also monitor jammed signals itself?

Whats the range of it tho?
300NM, according to this FR24 post about their first receiver in Antarctica, at Troll research station.
