    in all fairness 5 people give me a couple of euro every month it doesnt cover all costs, but its better than none.:)

    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?

    probably only 3 more at that level would break even.

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

    Signatures are not visible on the touch site unfortunately.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    This is the one, he is providing an excellent service, so for the price of a coffee per month, we can continue to support him :)

    Well the antenna pole has snapped, feed still working but I'm sure reduced range.

    Ah was wondering, no coverage at all of some of the frequencies like TWR, APP or GND :(( If it does come it's inaudible

    How are the donations and standing orders/patreon etc working out Pat, enough funds available to cover the repair/replacement?

    I have 5 patrons that in total donate $17 per month, (thanks you know who you are), that should cover any emergency repairs like this.

    Of course more patrons would be great.

    I also had a €10 approx anonymous donation through PayPal last week when I mentioned the pole snapped I assume it was from here somewhere.

    And remember that we still have a brand new replacement antenna in stock here bought by you guys if the need arises.


    I'm hoping the cable and connection are still intact as the antenna has been hanging from it since the breakage until today.

    Pat I have a bit of an unusual request... Is there any way of getting a feed of just the Area control frequencies? (129.180, 135.655, 120.755, 132.580)? Have a friend who flies and like listening in but can't hear that bit as it's in the mixed feed with everything else. I presume it's an easy one to do but I could be wrong!!

    Sorry but all the feeds are now programmed into sdr's, (software defined radio) so they only have a limited number of channels and a set small freq band. It's not easy to add a few more.

    Sorry again.

    Sorry i know this is a DUB live atc thread. But does anyone know about the SNN live feed. The Shannon Ground/TWR/Approach feed seems down and not working as per normal. The cover was great until yesterday

    I obviously don't know the exact reasons why the feeds are down but just some possibilities are:

    Liveatc fault at there end

    Loss of broadband at feed location

    Loss of power at feed location

    Feed operator turned it off for whatever reason

    Equipment failure at either end

    Software issues anywhere in the system including at your end.

    So no need to worry yet, usually things get back to normal quickly as liveatc will have noticed the problem and alerted the operator.

    One or two of the feeds appear to have Radio Na Gaeltachta being transmitted on them at the moment. And on the Internet radio for EIDW.

    https://www.liveatc.net/play/eidw3.pls

    Anyone know what is the reason for this?

    Hey Pat! Still playing radio on the combined feed xD


    Also - most of the feeds sound great. Tower is crystal clear, but Ground is barely audible. Just thought I'd let you know! Thanks again sir
