I only just noticed this thread! 
Thanks for reviving it, @ ScotiaLass. I'm a software engineer working on air traffic control systems, so I find the website on page 1 of this thread really interesting.

See http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/hill-wimps-return.142508/ & http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/hill-wimps-return.142508/The site has other "advantages" too... Last winter I did a flight from AMS to Norwich but the weather wasn't good enough to land. We ended up at Humberside. When I called my wife to tell her where I was, she already knew. Uncanny

Excellent thread...
I've followed aircraft on 'air', done some decoding of weather satellite images and 'other' stuff
using a cheap dongle....
this link may explain all HERE.
I wrote this early last year and is now superseded but you will get the gist of it..
One word of warning..
You must make sure the 'dongle' you buy has the relevant chipsets....
I sadly have not spent the time I should on the subject but one day I will.....
If I can help anyone who is interested....

From http://www.n2yo.com/
"It has been reported that COSMOS 1220 has reentered the atmospehere
DEFUNCT SOVIET RECONNAISSANCE SATELLITE MAY HIT EARTH - A decommissioned Soviet military satellite will burn up in the atmosphere Sunday in an uncontrolled descent and surviving fragments may hit Earth, according to an aerospace defense official. The military is actively monitoring the satellite using its space tracking network, which has indicated that it will impact the Pacific Ocean on Sunday, Colonel Alexei Zolotukhin said Friday. "As of February 7, 2014 the fragments are expected to fall on February 16. The exact impact time and location of the fragments from the Kosmos-1220 satellite may change due to external factors," Zolotukhin said."
