Sorry LGW15 next time you visit we'll stop doing what we do every day and give all our time and effort over to you and you alone.

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
Christ!
Some of you do have some nasty comments!
I did not say the controllers should have dropped everything - there was nothing for them to control and the least they could do would be to acknowledge our presence and at least smile or say hello!
Please is that too much to ask common curtousy or do you forget that in the tower?

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
hmmm! Nasty comments, LGW15?
This was a thread/topic started by you looking for help. Granted, some of the replies have been off-hand. Many haven't.
You've not once thanked anyone for their help in helping you. Perhaps the replies equal your arrogance?

'On a positive note,
Thank you to the FRIENDLY people:
snbower - cheers have got the frequencies
prospero - glad that you are a friendly controller that doesn't have his head up his arse.
Honey Monster - Cheers will be going to that site later.'

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
Methinks others will recall previous postings from this gent.... However..
<I wanted to get an radio amateurs license and I believe this is free for under 16s or 18s? Anyone got a link to the ofcom page with that? I take it that once I get the license I can listen to ATC?>
I have been a Licenced Radio Amateur for 30 years. Amateur Licences cost £15 per year - they are not free to anyone so far as I am aware and it is necessary to study and take exams for each class of licence. I suggest you contact the Radio Society of Great Britain for more information (www.rsgb.org). However, it sounds like you only want to obtain such a licence for purposes other than for which it intended so I suggest you forget it.
NO licence you can obtain will authorise you to listen to ATC communications unless, for example, you are training to be a pilot. NO licence is available to any member of the general public to listen to ATC comms. Licenced pilots, licenced air traffic controllers and other such professionals are not permitted to listen to ATC comms whilst they are not working. Full Stop.

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
Just been informed - Amateur RAdio LIcences are free to those under 21 and over 75. Candidates of whatever age still have to fulfil the licence requirements..
