Best ATC to learn radio communication?

I would like to learn radio communication used by pilots and ATC. Can you list some of the best ATC towers (most popular) to listen and study? As far as I know, many people don't suggest to listen to huge airports like ORD/JFK/BOS/LAX, because operators are very busy and don't use proper (standard) commands, talk super fast etc.

I heard some good reviews about KFAT, KVNY, KAPA towers. Can you list anything else that will suit my needs?

thanks!

I would like to listen to those who follow ICAO procedures. Do you have anyone else in mind other than UK with slow and propper english?

Hmm, that eliminates almost all U.S. airports then (just having a little joke cousins).

But I heard radio comms all over the world in english are pretty much the same. Anyway, I will be practicing at PilotEdge (virtual ATC) as soon as I finish Bob Gardners book, so I think U.S. atc towers is the only way to go

I am not sure if the differences between US and ICAO phraseology are large enough to cause me a confusion

Hey there,

Liveatc have a feed for all Irish aerodromes, RT used is usually spot on, and you're always guaranteed a bit of humour at some point! The traffic flow is always substantial and it's a good way to see how RT adapts to an increase in workload. Other than that I can't really tell. -www.liveatc.net

Your local country if possible, wherever that is. Each country has it's own nuances that will stand you in good stead if you want to go pro
