Wonder what's the problem here? Qatar squawking 7700 over Irish Sea, Looks like a fuel dump in progress or something.

Assume this Qatar 777 is circling to get rid of fuel - anyone know anything re. This JFK to DOH flight?

I think we're on our own at the mo!

I assume they're heading for Manchester. I am so sick of no ATC from the UK. Come on, lads. Move with the times. It's 2015 not 1915l

Like you would like to have ATC from UK. regretfully in the UK it is against their Laws.

Whilst it is not illegal to have a scanner. It is illegal to listen to ATC's transmissions and to rebroadcast them. Although a blind eye is turned to listening to them at airports. The Police have the power to size any scanner.

One must be licensed to use an Marine Band Radio for example

Just out of interest, I wonder has there ever been a case where the police seized people's scanners because they were listening to ATC?

Anyway, I see these arcane UK laws get chewed over time and time again (see here, for example) but... we're not in the UK. Would it be possible to pick up UK ATC transmissions from Dublin? If I had a set-up like Pat's and installed it say, in a house up in Ticknock that has great views out to sea, would it work? Because then, I wouldn't be breaking any laws in this jurisdiction. :P

Gulfstream 5 take off from Shannon heading west

Tell ya what, you set it all up and we'll listen, as we are in the ROI you would be breaking no laws here and the Brits obviously wouldn't have jurisdiction to put a stop to it, they wouldn't even know about it i'd say

Question is though, under which jurisdiction does liveatc operate? If they have any UK ties then it could be risky for them hosting an illegal feed even if it originates elsewhere.

BTW. it is also illegal to listen or use a scanner here.

Was questioned by the Gardai at the back of Cork Airpot few years ago about what I was doing. Had scanners, maps, and aircraft books. At that time one was able to receive mMount Gabriel. Transmissions were being repeated from London ATC. So one had both sides of it.

The Guards became interested in what I could show them ie tracking aircraft across the Atlantic then doing anything else.

There have been a number of cases over the years. But I cannot remember
In say the last 2.

Some of UK ATC transmissions are picked up in Dublin depending on the atmospheric conditions.

Again a few years ago both in Cork and Clonea in Co Waterford could listen to pilots going in to ATC London from Cork. In Waterford could hear both pilot and ATC .

Over the 18 months or so reception has not been great.

During the summer is usually good last August in Ardmore Co.Waterford got italian Radio Station on car radio. No Scanners in the car.

Can remember there was a feed once and was closed down very quickly.

What does puzzle me it that live feeds for Flight radar 24 are allowed.

On livestock.com one may see the countries that transmission feeds are allowed.

Ireland is one, but Dept of Comms has never interfered.

Cork, Dublin, Shannon are there.

It's not illigal own or to listen to any publically broadcast radio frequency in Ireland, even the frequencies the Garda used to transmit on. It is illigal to use the information obtained for nefarious activites or to profit from the information you obtain.

This seems like a new UK feed, havent heard anything on it yet but.

First part of what you say is correct.

All radio stations, Ham Radio, Nav warnings. But to have a radio capable of transmitting and receiving with out a licence is illegal.

Scanners come under this section


However, listening to the Garda or having information of the frequencies that broadcast on. Or have them stored on a radio is totally illegal. Has away been.
