Departures and arrivals we saw ourselves on adsb.lol traces over 2 day(s). A floor, not the total number of movements: where no receiver is nearby, nothing is seen.

Is another airport nearby a better choice?

The callsign is what the aircraft transmits by radio. It usually matches the commercial flight number, but not always: sometimes it is the registration.

Showing the first 40 in each direction.

An asterisk marks a heading derived from the runway number rather than measured. The number is a magnetic heading and the measured one is true: the derived value carries the local magnetic declination, up to 20 degrees.
