A live home radio observatory in Doncaster, UK. Three dedicated SDR receivers running around the clock — aircraft tracking, weather satellites, and wideband signal monitoring — all updated continuously.
Radio signals follow exact, predictable rules. The same frequency always carries the same kind of thing. A satellite pass can be calculated to the minute, years in advance. An aircraft's position is real data, broadcast openly, that you can verify yourself rather than take on trust. For a lot of neurodivergent people — particularly those drawn to systems, patterns, transport, weather, or just liking to know exactly how something works underneath — that combination of "invisible" and "completely knowable" is genuinely compelling.
AwareSignal exists because that interest is real and valid, not a distraction to be redirected. Watching real aircraft move across a real map, or a weather satellite image build up live from a signal in the sky, can be a genuinely calming and absorbing way to focus.
Live ADS-B tracking at 1090 MHz — every aircraft within range plotted in real time with altitude, speed and heading.
Meteor-M2-4 weather satellite pass predictions and automatically captured images decoded live from 800km overhead.
The discone antenna scans FM radio, aviation voice, marine VHF, emergency beacons and ISM bands — see what's being detected right now, plus the solar radio burst watch.
Listen live to the CORE discone scanner — FM radio, aviation voice and more streamed directly from Doncaster with a short delay.
Dedicated ADS-B receiver on its own antenna, tracking every commercial aircraft within range at 1090 MHz.
V-pole antenna with SAWbird+ LNA booster, automatically capturing weather satellite passes at 137 MHz.
Discone wideband antenna scanning FM, aviation voice, marine VHF, emergency beacons and IoT bands continuously.
CORE also checks each sweep for broadband spikes across many channels at once — the signature of a solar radio burst — and cross-checks NOAA's live flare data.
When the station is tuned to a frequency, the live audio streams publicly with a short delay — hear the actual radio signal.
