Eavesdropping on ATC
A couple of articles on Thursday’s crash near Buffalo mentioned LiveATC.net as their source for conversations between air traffic control and the Dash 8 just before the crash.
LiveATC is a pretty interesting site. They started out making ATC transmissions from Boston’s Logan Airport available, and have branched out to many parts of the world, notably not the UK, though, where listening in on ATC (among other things) is prohibited by law unless “…you are authorised by a designated person to do so.”
You can get the feeds on your iPhone or BlackBerry, too; it’s a bit more draconian on a BlackBerry, but maybe they’ll get around to straightening that out.
Want to help? Here’s what the site has to say:
Feeder Sites
If you are within listening range of an airport and have a police scanner or any airband-capable scanning receiver, please consider becoming a LiveATC air traffic control feeder site.
Besides the scanner, you need:
- an always-on Internet connection (uses ~16kbps)
- an external or attic antenna (for optimum reception)
- audio cable to connect scanner to PC's sound card
- a PC running Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux/other Unix
- free software we provide and help you set up
Could be a lot of fun, actually!
