All OK now on iPad.

U26732 / EZY97BA due into Aldergrove, I still have the freq in the feed for test

Mech1

If anyone works in the Airport, or in and around that area, or somewhere / anywhere else that has a passing interest, Would you consider printing and posting these LiveAtc advert flyers up?

I was listening in the car on my way to work this morning from around 8.30 to 9.00 and it was very busy. Lots of inbound planes holding at both KERAV and SORIN.

Busiest I've heard it in a while.

Mech1

I gotta say we're doing very well consistanly on the "Top 50" chart. Averaging 4th I recon.
Thanks for listening.

I realise it is a bit outside the thread topic but I would expect that Names could do Q&A on the "Great Big ask a pilot" thread....

Just put them both together, ask an airline pilot/air traffic controller?

No that could get messy..

andy_g

"Ask an expert" thread?

Lots of knowledge on this forum, not all are CPL/PPL holders.

Hmmm then we'll bring all the loons out from conspiracy theories :eek:

Peregrine

'Ask an aviation professional' or something yeah. 'Ask an expert' would attract "experts"

Edit: Actually yeah Tenger, there are good experts too who aren't necessarily license holders. Hmmm

no lol, but if you have had a monitored alaram theres a very good chance you've spoken to me, iv worked for all the big monitoring stations in this country.

would love Pat kennys pay mind you!

but back on topic, the feeds are going really well! its nice to see a few up on ATClive for EIDW

Mech1

Busy at the moment EI209 had to go around due to gusting wind, bit of a small backlog now

Mech1

Looks like our local Flightradar24 feeder has gone down:(


Edit: Back up just as I posted:D

New pics of antenna mounting after raising it as much as I dare.

That mounted on the chimney Pat? Im looking to pop up two antenna's in the next few weeks, one for the radar box then i'll try feed it. second maybe a scanner.

Just watch the neighbors dont report ya as you can only go 5m without planning permission.

Yeah its on the chimney, Dont think its above 5m, the antenna specs say its 1.7M total length so im guessing double that plus a meter so 4.5 or thereabouts above the ridge.

Mech1

But we dont wanna discuss that subject anymore:D

andy_g

Just so ya know its 5m from the top of the highest point on the structure :P and they dont include the antenna when checking so the mast can go to 5m :P

andy_g

Love the days ya see a balloon on appr

Ah aer lingus ops is it never had it happen in FR

Mech1

Housekeeping on Scanner tonight, may be up or down at times.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Mech1

Up again now, was just sorting freq into numerical order to assist scanning speed.

Mech1

A few more beeps to be expected, but feed should stay up.

Mech1

Sorted

whats my best deal on a "radar box"? looks like whoever our local feeder is, is having trouble. Flight radar24 keeps losing all, or even not monitoring some flights.

2nd hand they can be hard to find and those that are available are snapped up quickly.

Im not really worried about 2nd hand, was more thinking of buying new. Then possibly tapping into my main antenna to feed it.

Mech1

My bc780 has the Discriminator Mod already would that work?
