Airborne

Receivers

A receiver, if your roof is in the right place.

Free, and not for everyone. We place a small number of receivers where the sky is not being listened to. Put your name down and we check your area against the map.

Pre-order for £0

Free, and yours to keep. A register, not a shop.

01

Why selective

Coverage is a map with holes in it.

A receiver in central London adds almost nothing: that sky is already heard by hundreds of people. The same box on a hill in mid Wales, on a coast, or beside an airfield nobody covers fills in a piece of the map that is blank. So we are not selling these. We are placing them where they do some good, and we would rather say no than post a box that duplicates a neighbour.

02

The arrangement

What it is, plainly.

What you get

A receiver and aerial, set up before it is posted. Your own sky, read off the air, with nothing between the aircraft and the display.

What you give

What it hears goes back to the network the rest of the product depends on. That is the whole arrangement, and why the kit costs nothing.

What we need to know

Roughly where you are, and whether there is somewhere to put an aerial with a view of the sky. Height beats everything else.

What happens next

We check your area against the coverage map and write back either way. A no is an observation about your neighbours' aerials, not about you.

03

Pre-order

Tell us where you are.

The form asks for a rough area: a town, or the first half of a postcode. Nothing more precise than that, and no address. It is the one thing we cannot do without, because a name with no location is a decision nobody can make.

Pre-order for £0

The form is on app.whatsairborne.com and needs an account, so the pre-order is attached to something you can change or cancel. No card, nothing charged.
