CYYZ & CZYZ Toronto Center new home

[delta092b]

After a few technical glitches, I'm proud to have taken over the CYYZ and CZYZ feeds as of Friday. I'd like to thank the former feeder "CYYZ / CZYZ" for providing some of the equipment and also for his dedication to the feeds for the past few years. He did a fantastic job keeping clear and constant feeds and I have a lot to live up to

Thanks to Dave for his help in establishing the feeds and guidance on software setup.

I currently have a temporary issue with one of the antenna cables on the Toronto Centre feed and I hope to rectify this early next week.

If anyone has any comments/issues with the feeds please let  know.

Sorry for the up and down time over the weekend, it should be 24/7 going forward (except for any technical hicups).

Just wanted to say thank you! YYZ is my local airport (I live in Vaughan at Jane/Rutherford) and I listen to the feed quite often. Was pretty cool earlier today listening to the Blue Angels C-130 and some of the other air show planes that were using Pearson.

Actually I would like to thank you for taking over the feeds. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the years.

So far so good! One suggestion though, is to update the frequency list on the feed page, since I dont think you're covering some of the other airports anymore? (like YKZ, YTZ, etc..).

Yep, Dave has the list and will be updating when he has a few minutes.

Awesome!

I'm still noticing which sounds like frequencies being stepped on. Could it be that one scanner is interfering with another one?

If we're talking about the same thing then I think it's because there are too many busy frequencies on each scanner and as result it skips to another frequency in between responses (which can be confusing).  When I just had say tower & departures on one scanner I didn't notice this as much.

Are we on the same page or talking different problems

[bcrosby]

We're talking about different problems.

I'm going to attach an audio clip as an example the next time I hear it.

[delta092b]

Sounds like a plan.

I have to laugh when I installed this antenna on my balcony and being so close to the airport it reminded me of an old British comedy. Don't read too much in to the technical aspect of the clip but in this episode Del (a guy that buys & sells stolen goods) buys a satellite (he's calls it a statelite dish) and well....the clip explains the rest.

[bcrosby]

Hahah.. that's awesome!

I just heard what I was talking about (wobble/step on sound) (2:12pm) so I will wait until the 2:30 archive comes out and trim out a portion.

I am traveling right now but expect to update this within the next day or so.

[dave]

And I think I know what you are talking about, Blake...I will take a listen to confirm when I am able.

[bcrosby]

I've attached a small clip from today that explains what I'm trying to describe.

[delta092b]

mmm that's interesting.  Have you only ever heard this in the Toronto Center feed? I'm not a scanner/radio SME but it almost sounded like a data bits and bytes at some points and I'd be happy to make adjustments if anyone has a suggestion.

Blake, did you also here this before I took over the feed or is it something new?

[bcrosby]

This was a problem I reported earlier with this feed, before it moved.

It was discussed in this rather lengthy post:

This only happens on the CZYZ feed.
