Looking for experienced HF ATC listeners

[leonardoperezsalles]

Hi, Im a an air traffic controller but Im also a HF radio operator since the RDO facility is in the ACC too, we use mainly 10024, and at night sometimes 6649, I can hear NY RDO mostyly on 8918 at day!
You shoul be able to hear various RDO stations throughout the region in the freqs i mentioned.

Dave,
It's funny to see this post. I worked a NY ARINC when I got out of the air force in 1988, until 1990 when I got in the FAA. The carib. is fun to listen to, But in my opinion, when the national tracks are active NAT X, Y, or Z the atlantic goes insaine. You would be amazed to hear some of the things that go on out over the ocean. If you can post any of there HF clips I would love to hear my old friends carrying on thier jobs.

You ain't kidding. I listen to NAT and CAR...I also listen to AFI on 11.300, which is interesting as the equipment is mostly off frequency, and I hear traffic being passed between ground stations because the radios are in such poor condition. The NY ARINC people are really good, and I can tell by the way the pilots talk to them. I've heard some chit chat between ARINC and the aircraft, with first names tossed back and forth. Talk about law enforcement being a family...I can see aviation is almost the same!

They are all very good people, sad thing is when it comes time for them to get raises, the company thinks of them as glorified telephone operators. And let me tell you that is not fair.

i work at Arinc Ny.....the best times for the busiest freq's for the car are: Car A 8846 from 8 am til 2pm 6577 from 4pm til 10 then 5550 overnight....car b is 11330 from 9am til 10pm all day all night nonstop..especially now with the hurricane season... car a/b which uses 8918 and that is alwats busy but we only use that from 8am til 11pm.. all of this depends on traffic flow for that day and and tracks for the day as well....enjoy..ak

AK,
When you see Sue B or Lorraine R tell them that Matt said hi. I had good times with eveyone there.

[arink4]

Will do matt...Everyone is doing great i will tell them you say hello...from one ro to another


.........also: we finally got that raise....

[matman]

About dam time, I hated raise time, where you went from good worker to glorified telephone operator. What a joke. I remember how hard it was to work the NAT's across the atlantic, or the carib. Never mind if there was a solar flare!! Hell I was the one who worked the Panama invation. Ask Lucy about that one, she was there with me on the mid. At least you all are getting a raise, The FAA has gone bonkers, and we're looking at big time pay cuts and job loses. Anyway keep up the good work. tell everyone congrats for me...Tell Lorarine Alphie golfie eh charlie echo. watch her smile.
