Considering the fact that if you somehow manage to find ANY site broadcasting london or any other UK ATC freq. for that reason, wil automatically be illegal due to the fact it is being broadcast to your net server then to you.
I shudn't get caught up in this but I will!
That is a gd point, if listening to freq's on an airband scanner is illegal why do they sell them. I have been to Ronaldsway- Isle of Man airport many times (my home airport) with my AB Scanner, and pilots, ATCO's, security officers, police and who knows have walked past me. If it is illegal they certainly dont make it clear enough, and if the scanner is a receiver only, it should be legal as if you are just an enthusiast listening, it is just as simple to hear ATC as popping to ur local flying school and taking an intro lesson so you can listen to ATC.
Crazy.
Illegal or legal, it wont stop people buying AB scanners and going ona day trip to manchester aiport to listen to CC_TWR etc..
