## Most wanted receiver location

With more than 50,000 ADS-B receivers connected to Flightradar24, we maintain the largest receiver network in the world. But we’re always looking for additional receiver hosts in areas that either lack coverage or need additional coverage. Take a look at our list of most wanted airport locations. Do you live or work near one of these airports?
[View our most wanted locations](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/most-wanted-receiver-locations/)
## Requirements for hosting
**I am able to offer excellent reception conditions** – i.e. the antenna will be placed outside on a roof, mast or similar and have a 360 degree unobstructed view of the sky
**I am able to get the antenna to its intended locations** and receiver online within one week from receiving the equipment
**I am able to keep the receiver online 24/7** sending data to Flightradar24 servers via an uninterrupted internet connection
If for some reason hosting a receiver doesn't work out – I am OK with sending the equipment back upon request (at Flightradar24's expense)
*Exceptions to these requirements can be made to applications from unique locations.*
