Default ADS-B Long Range Plots

When I had a look at the PlanePlotter tracks sourced from my ADS-B receiver today, there were several good tracks out past 300nm to the northeast.

The track through DRUMO (29° 30' 19S 157° 36' 41E) was by Emirates B777-31HER A6-ECI on route from Auckland to Brisbane, and I just happened to be watching while it was displayed. The Start Position was S29 48.6 E158 11.1 and End Position S29 40.3 E157 55.3, some 421.1nm and 414.9nm from my receiver respectively.

If I can track down the other five or six plots outside the 300nm, I will post the details.

While I was writing this post, I had another look at RadarBox and there was a plot out at 435nm to the east. There must be something in the air this evening.
