Liveatc EIDW Feed is up AND GOING WELL. Donations to keep it up would be appreciated

Support the feed by listening as often as possible, leave it running in the background if you want, it uses very little of your computer resources:cool:

All advise / comments welcomed. Newbie feeder here.

Check it out at http://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=eidw

pm me if you ever find the feed to be down /off air as i get a email notification of that and can sort it asap.

Thanks.
Pat

excellent work mech 1, gonna listen in now. It is really appreciated from us fanatics living in the midlands that are unable to get a proper feed on the scanner. Thanks again.

conor_ie · 14-06-2013 8:48am

Have been listening to the feed on the liveatc app and the quality has been brilliant! Looking forward to being able to listen to it on my next long journey somewhere through the car radio!!

dm09 · 14-06-2013 3:08pm

Excellent Work, Great Quality! Thanks

Razor44 · 14-06-2013 4:20pm

keeping it playing on the PC,even if i have it muted just to keep the stats up for all of us!

its at no.3 in the top 50 feeds at the mo

John_Mc · 14-06-2013 4:20pm

Great quality - fair play for setting it up!

Mech1 · 14-06-2013 4:41pm

Got to number 2 in the top 50 chart for 2 min this morning

BeardySi · 14-06-2013 5:08pm

Nice one, cheers! Made all the better as I've got traffic from EGAC directly overhead providing sound effects! (house is about 3/4 of a mile fro theend of the runway...) Just a shame we can't have a feed from there...

martinsvi · 14-06-2013 5:22pm

glad you got it working, what antenna did you went for?

Mech1 · 14-06-2013 11:49pm

Someone I know has a confirmed meeting with the US 1st lady in Dublin on Monday, no more info allowed.

Mech1 · 15-06-2013 12:26am

I got a reply from liveatc to my recent email,
for those that didnt see what I asked:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hi Dave, The EIDW feed seems to be working well, always in the top 50 and usually in the top ten!

Anyway a question for you, I want to cover a couple of airshows taking place in the Dublin area this summer, but think I would need permission from the relevant authorities to feed EIME transmissions as it’s a Irish military airbase. Shows are http://www.flightfest.ie/ and http://www.brayairdisplay.com/ I would expect many aircraft would be using the EIME freq on those days.

Relevant links to this airport.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Casem...0841378620000#

Can you, as in your company, request permission from them to run this feed on those dates? Or how do we go about this? I recommend "The Air Corps Press Office" as listed in the contact section of http://www.military.ie/air-corps

Thanks,
Pat.

Hi Pat-

Running well indeed. I could contact "The Air Corps Press Office" but past experience with requests like these have ended with a typical "no"
answer. Furthermore, they may ask details about how the streams are being captured, and I am not keen about revealing your name or contact information to them. The downsides, to me, far outweigh the upside.

Further thoughts/concerns on your end?

Dave

Not something I wanna fight for.

Are the Irish Aer Corp dreaming that they are a super power or something, thats a bit rich for an organisation who do not even have the capability to shoot a pea from one of their planes.
They should really remember that their task in little Ireland is flying Gardai, politicians and unfortunate patients. Oh and training future EI and FR pilots.

Mech1 · 15-06-2013 5:03pm

So we made Number 1 with that little event just now, 72 listeners at one point.

ABR427J reported smell of smoke at rear of cabin, landed safely, all other approaching flights put into holding patterns.

Landed safely.

BeardySi · 15-06-2013 5:47pm

Damit, I was listening all morning, but switched off earlier for the radio....

trust me to miss the good bits!

Btw, what was Airforce01 earlier on?

andy_g · 15-06-2013 7:02pm

Mech1 are you running a pre amp?

But they haven't actually asked them!

It's just from their experience air bases naturally tend to say no and Pat doesn't want to fight for it and I agree, if they say no then there's no point trying to fight for it. But I think there's a small chance IAC might say yes..for reasons you mentioned.

No just worn out Discone with RG213 coax.

Dingle_berry · 15-06-2013 9:43pm

Is there an app for iphone/iPad?
Is flight radar the best app for watching the air traffic or is there something that will show all flights like helicopters etc?

If you add a pre amp it may reduce some static on some of the freq

other than that its crystal clear.

Mech1 · 15-06-2013 10:14pm

Im ordering a D-777 antenna on Monday.

http://www.hamradio.co.uk/aerials-antenna-manufacturers-diamond-antennas/diamond/diamond-d777-pd-2540.php

Hopefully it will improve things:D

andy_g · 15-06-2013 10:16pm

Nice antenna im looking at getting something bigger for my radar box atm

Razor44 · 15-06-2013 10:27pm

is it just me or is Ground coming through on and off ?

Mech1 · 15-06-2013 11:03pm

The reception does seem to be a bit up and down on a couple of freq. 121.100 approach and 118.600 tower.

When im putting up the D-777 hopefully this week coming all coax connections etc will be tested / replaced if ness

Mech1 · 15-06-2013 11:48pm

Im finding the reception on those freq improves when I turn the scanner attenuator on for those channels.

I plugged in a different scanner 15 min ago, no better, so back to the 780xlt now.

ShanE90 · 16-06-2013 10:00pm

Just listening in tonight and noticing how good the feed quality is, seems much better than a few days ago! Well done mech1 keep up the good work!

Mech1 · 16-06-2013 10:09pm

Adding in Aldergrove radar / approach now to see if we could copy Airforce 1 in the morning
If you here Aldergrove flights let me know Im not in position to listen atm.
Pat

Mech1 · 16-06-2013 10:16pm

Aldergrove is now in the feed for checking if we copy anything, Prob not.

Mech 1, be careful, I would worry could you be breaking a UK law?

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