ADS-B Program Manager at FlightAware
Glad you like our gear and really appreciate you being a host!
We haven't done anything with the GPS data yet and probably won't with this generation of FlightFeeders. We're currently in the design phase for a Pi4 based kit with a brand new FlightAware designed SDR. Part of that project includes an Epic for what we're calling "Science Packages" internally. What you suggest fits in with that concept.
Regarding the last bit, that is correct. We (I'm FlightAware's ADS-B Program Manager) send ADS-B receivers free of charge to places we need better coverage. Labrador and Greenland are great examples. If you're interested please visit our website, specifically the FlightFeeder page.
