There are two ways to read a comment that says "I don't find this [useful|inspiring|interesting]." The first is to take it as a criticism, and the second is to take it as a statement of fact that is strictly limited to the person saying it. Where it's ambiguous it's far better to assume the second meaning, if only due to the Principle of Charity.

I suppose that the concept I was trying to articulate was better expressed as follows: "It is quite unfortunate that the baseline "Hello World!"-type project for SDR is listening in to airliners' telemetry, as it is widely available by other means, entails RX-only skills and equipment, and does not really provide wide avenues for later development".
That is, of course, my personal opinion, but it is also something of a critique: wouldn't people be more excited if the baseline project involved TX/RX, obviously with slightly more involved hardware (and limited to ISM bands & transmission power limitations)?

The baseline "Hello World" has always seemed to me to be capturing the full FM spectrum. I think that was the first example given in Gnuradio.
I know the posted article is nothing new, but it doesn't seem like a great idea to discourage people from writing up their experiments, even if it isn't anything amazing and new...
