Build a RADAR for Bournemouth Air Festival!

With #BmthAirFest just around the corner, now is the perfect time to build yourself a Radar system for a grand total of about £10!!

All you need is a USB stick with a Realtek RTL2832U chipset -- commonly sold as DVB-T tuners (TV tuner dongle). You can get them off eBay for around £7-10.
