    If he's not in the UK would that matter?

    AFAIK The UK prohibits the re broadcast of any ATC. Just look at LiveATC.net there are no UK airports on it. I would just hate to see a good bloke walking into trouble, i know its not exactly terrorism.

    I don't think they can enforce that down here, we allow it here and Mech1 is obeying Irish Law in Ireland, I don't think there's an issue there... Important to remember though that it's not allowed in the UK, but if you're based in Dublin then you're fine under Irish law.

    Bit of a non-runner anyway, I followed a easyjet flight as far North as Lisburn tonight then lost coverage. There are mountains in the way.

    I can hear ryanair etc from South Wales as its a clear line of sight.

    I could probably hear airborne transmissions if I stuck to the radar freq with no squelch, but we then lose the Dublin stuff.

    Well I got the D-777 ordered along with 2 new pl259 coax connectors today. Just under €100 including shipping.

    Hope to have it here by Thursday so should be installed before the weekend, weather dependent of course.

    It's supposed to be the best Airband antenna available in a affordable price bracket, we will see! Lots of people here to access the performance of it.

    Thanks again to everyone for tuning in, it makes the whole effort worthwhile.

    Comments good or bad are very welcome as it confirms people are interested, and keeps ME interested.

    Pat.

    Tonight im increasing the delay period on the main frequencies, 4 seconds from 2, in order to make it more "followable" for people not used to scanners.

    Does anyone know of any good online resources that explain ATC communications fully? I'm guessing some things and googling others

    Write a list of sentences you dont understand and post them here, I recon you would get answers quickly.
    I was in the same situ not so long ago, but over time copped on to most, I would also be interested in reading your answers.

    Any thoughts on improving the feed ?

    Did the delay on freq extension help?

    Do we cover too many freq? If so what do we drop?

    Any volume problems? I can adjust if too high/low.

    I think 2 secs is good enough.

    I'm not in favour of adding Aldergrove as your feed is for EIDW although the G8 thing is a once off.

    From my personal point of of view I'd remove the ops frequencies and stick with ATC but that's just my 2c and maybe others might disagree.

    Your feed is excellent but be careful not to have too many frequencies as it will make listening disjointed. Dublin/Approach/Tower/Gnd is good enough for me.

    It'd be great if others would voice their opinion so we could all have a consensus.

    I completely agree with crosstownk, many frequencies in one feed makes listening exhausting

    Yes Aldergrove was supposed to be only for Monday, is it still in?:eek: checking now.

    Ops freq's can go, Im not interested in them myself either.

    More opinions wanted.

    I think the best thing would be for just ground, tower and approach.

    I would love to listen to ops, that would really interest me, but unfortunately, it'd just clutter up the others and you'd be left with an incoherent sliver of many different frequencies...

    I got this from the sticky. I've been using LiveATC for so long that I've forgotten the frequencies :o

    If anyone else has other frequencies to suggest then please work away.


    Dublin (EIDW) :

    Radio Frequencies
    Tower 118.600
    Approach Radar 121.100
    Secondary Approach Freq 119.550
    Dublin Center North (primary center freq) 129.175
    Dublin Center South 126.250

    EDIT: Also add Ground on 121.8MHz
