I was looking around on ADS-B Exchange, and I was curious what this is. I'm assuming it's NEXRAD radar, or regular military radar, but I have no clue. What really confuses me is it's broadcasting on ADS-B Ex, but seems like it's stationary.
Any Ideas?

Here is where I found it: ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live

A feeder, people like you and me in that area, are receiving the TIS-B signal identifying that tower using custom receivers and antennas. Those feeder receivers are then sharing that data to ADSBexchange. Review the column on the left to see the source signal type and other info. In this instance it is TIS-B and not ADS-B. There are other signal sources that feeders share with ADSBex beyond just ADS-B.

Remember - The whole point of ADS-B, TIS-B, etc., is collision avoidance. I would like to avoid a stationary tower while flying. The whole point of ADSBex is to share received positions with landlubbers, so to speak.

Review this link for signal types. https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/capabilities/ins_outs

I use FlightRadar24 on my phone, and ADS-B Ex. on my computer. What was your issue?
