The "I have not seen the large Red Notice at the top and read it properly" thread
 

Here it is - the thread for those who are either visually or organisationally challenged.

It looks as if it will be a busy thread.

I will be 'thinning' and re-allocating as we move along. Hey-ho!

In case you are STILL unsure it means you missed the correct thread:ugh:

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know of the best equiptment to listen to ATC? I live quite far away from most of the large aiports but would love to listen in to ATC from all over. Whats the best radio? website? I dont know where to start!

cheers

If you want to listen to ATC rather than just aircraft you are going to need a good external aerial mounted as high as possible. Even then you would be unlikely to get much further than 15-20 miles or so. VHF is essentially line of sight, so ground to ground is always going to be limited. Air to ground on the other hand can often be good for 200 miles depending on the altitude of the aircraft.

I think there is still at least one radio hobby magazine going - the amateur radio suppliers normally stock suitable gear, and would be a good source of advice.

TAP,

You can listen to quite a few live ATC feeds here:

A Question For The Geeks
 

M y friend said that on saturday a large plane bigger than a 747 with "HAD" as part of its name , came into Manchester , I think it was Chinese 747 but I am sure someone on here could tell us for certain what it was she saw ..

could be an Etihad Airways

Etihad maybe, but they fly A330-200 aircraft into Manchester.

Spotting at Heathrow
 

Folks,

Might get the chance to spend a bit of time around LHR soon...

What are the best places, either on the complex or outside, to do a bit of leisurely spotting on a Saturday afternoon?
