Hello guys,

Today my mum bought me an attena, It's about 1ft long and is made for Airband that's what the people at the shop said. I could not refuse it as it was good. Question at bottom BTW!

I can hear EGLL Finals, EGLL South Director, EGLL North with some problems due to my bedroom on the south i can hear them lightly as it has to go through my house., Planes at BNN are very hard to hear but LAM and before they come to Finals is no problem. Gatwick APP very Clearly and considering it's further away from me too it's rather outstanding.

The rest i am not sure, i was picking up DUTCH ATC a little bit and i thought to myself WTF! I must have been dreaming then, i could not hear city as it's closed right now BTW!, I might hear london control if i knew the frequencies and if i could have a free list to browse as this one seems half out of date. http://www.javiation.co.uk/vu.html

Just a question if i build what you said HeathrowDirector, instead of getting rid of my mums new aerial she got me. How can i get a splitter? that splits the Coax for two aerials?

And what else as i can't pick up the Controller side of LHR TWR, that's a P*** take.

Regards,

Rob
