Is there any good tutorials on how to set up GNU Radio with ADS? I'm a
   C++/python hacker, and got the RTL dongle, but i feel like fish out of
   water with radio and signal stuff.

     Every year politicians and business men meet at the World Economic
     Forum in the small mountain town of Davos, Switzerland to discuss
     various topics and create business deals. This year Quartz, an
     online
     newspaper/magazine sent a journalist to the forum tasked with
     writing
     a unconventional story about the forum: he was asked to monitor the
     private helicopter traffic coming in and out of Davos from
     transponder
     broadcast of ADS-B data. Using an $20 RTL-SDR dongle, Raspberry Pi
     and
     ADS-B collinear antenna they monitored the flights over Davos. From
     the data they were able to determine the flight paths that many
     helicopters took, the types of helicopters used and the most popular
     flight times.
