For those of us that don't do Patreon could we just make it an annual shout-out on here, say 1st September every year to make a donation or at the very least to check in with Pat and see how much is spent/needed. That way he's not having to ask, we are offering. Maybe a mod could set a reminder.

Paypal €4.48 after charges, but if sent friends and family no charges apply. (very few use friends and family).

Patreon i dont know yet as payments are not taken from patrons accounts until the first of each month. But i expect charges between 3 and 6 percent depending on patrons amount set but thats from memory so dont quote me on that.

We have a total of 7 donating Patrons and the total income from them amounts to 25.91 USD per month which will help alot over the course of a year.

The winter period is almost upon us and this is the first year that I have been confident in the antenna attachments and pole surviving it. Thanks!

Pat.

As is usual, the Windy weekend pulled us up a bit from our usual top 10 feeds in the Liveatc feed charts into the top 3, First place for a lot of the time!

Thanks for listening.

@Mech1 Hi Pat, wonder if you could, like you've done for the other feeds, make a Center only feed? The frequencies they use for the 5 sectors are 129.180, 132.580, 120.755, 135.655 and 118.500.

Would be great for us nerds. Thanks

question about your feed Pat.... what sort of limitations have you hit with the SDR's?

I'm assuming you have 2 or more 10MHz capable SDR's (or multiple cheap 2MHz wide ones)... how many RX's can you run on the one laptop etc... and what are the laptop specs?

Unfortunatly a few Patreon subscribers have fallen through. No blame on them they supported the feed when they could.
If anyone thinks they sould support the feed even for a couple of months, click in my signature at the botton of all my posts and sign up. one or two euro each per month from a few people would be enough to cover the costs.

Thanks,,, Pat.

Yes Razor a long time ago, it started at post 45 here,,,https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=84202582

Some fun times had along the way, been through a few storms, atc vs pilot arguments, diversions, Air shows, Strikes, vip visits etc.

Many thanks to all that have listened in and helped the feed along over the years!

Pat.

I’m one of those 5 people.
It’s $4 a month from me. (A negligible amount even in these Covid lay-off times)

I’m not a big user but I do know how important it can be for certain events/incidents.
Would you need another 5 patrons to cover costs overall?

Or you can click the patron link in Mech1s signature if you feel you can spare the price of a cuppa per month.
