Kushal, our ADS-B feeder in Nepal

Our Featured ADS-B Feeder for November 2025 is Kushal K.C. with the station PGANRB501946, currently ranked #1 in Nepal. With an impressive coverage radius of 272 km (147 nautical miles), Kushal has quickly become a key contributor to the AirNav Radar network in the region.

He lives in Lalitpur, Nepal, a major city within the Kathmandu Valley known for its cultural heritage, traditional craftsmanship, and historic Durbar Square. Lalitpur has a population of over 280,000 and sits at an elevation that provides excellent line-of-sight for ADS-B reception — a significant advantage for building high-performing stations.

His ADS-B Setup

His setup is mounted on top of a four-story building, with the antenna on a 6-foot mast. A 10-meter cable runs from the antenna to the receiver, which is placed beside a window to maximize signal reception. This configuration gives him an extensive range across the valley and beyond.

Before using the AirNav Radar kit, Kushal spent time experimenting and building his own antennas. One of his handmade designs, a four-legged ground-plane antenna, provided about 25 km of coverage around Kathmandu. While those early experiments were valuable, he explains that the AirNav kit delivers far more range and reliability, making it a superior long-term solution.

How He Found AirNav Radar

Kushal discovered AirNav Radar on Twitter while researching ADS-B setups. What impressed him most was the ability to access the station feed remotely, not just locally. The complimentary Business Plan included for feeders has also been especially beneficial for his daily use.

He often shares advice with new ADS-B enthusiasts: placing the antenna as high as possible is essential for achieving strong coverage, and being located near an airport significantly enhances the amount of traffic received.
