Times like this, with major wx in NY, are when this feed will be great... everybody stacked up carving race tracks over Milton. That's when 129.4 ARINC comes alive as these guys talk to their dispatchers about fuel and alternates.

Looking at FlightAware, it seems not many want to fly to LGA or EWR in this weather  :-)

W3MAT...any luck hearing 121.32 today? We're they even "on" today? I saw from flightaware that mid-aft they rerouted most Eastbound LENDY arrivals south over CAMRN4. I've been driving all day...not able to listen at all.

Thanks and 73s!

I haven't actually heard them on 121.325 because I'm not at a scanner equipped position here at work, but the 128.575 controller did put some aircraft over on 121.325 because of the north routing due to storms over central PA earlier today.  Your call looks familiar Jim, I'll look you up in my log to see if we worked before.

So out east, put a splitter in so you can feed your antenna to both radios, add another sound card & stream to your PC. Then, if they both tend to be busy at the same time, put 134.0 on one radio and 135.8 on the other. Then put 124.525 on whichever radio it doubles the least with and 132.3 on the other. If you can set delay by channel, put 2s delay on 134 and 135.8 and no delay on the others.


Hey ID, thought you'd like to know that the feed from my parents place is now split into two with 135.8, 124.525 and 121.5 on one and 134.0 and 132.3 on the other.  This should make it easier to follow things...132.3 is not active all too often so that's why I put it with 134.0

The next step will be to split the JFK area feeds...

I would like to propose that this feed be divided into ARTCC centers. 1 feed dedicated to the Boston/New York ARTCC frequencies and the other dedicated to the Washington ARTCC frequencies. Again just a suggestion.

Hey Miami,

There are actually two JFK feeds now.  The two feeds would be split into four like this:

#1
132.525, 126.875, 125.45, 125.325, 125.575

#2
120.75, 121.375, 120.975, 133.125, 118.975

#3
128.3, 133.5, 127.7

#4
134.6, 134.325, 121.025, 133.975

This arrangement would seem to make sense since they follow a general flow of traffic from one sector to the next.  At least that's the plan right now...

Hello Ian,

Yes we are aware this is happening.  Not yet sure what's causing it but it is being worked on.  Thanks  :-)

Ron...listening to archives from Thurs Night...sounds like your CCC1 & 2 feeds are reversed.

Hey Jim,

Well that's one of the problems...if you listen to the ccc2 feed you'll notice that you can actually hear both the ccc1 AND ccc2 feeds with ccc2 much louder than ccc1.  Somewhere there is crossover but not sure exactly how this is happening.  It's being worked on though.  Hopefully the cause can be found.  It's all very strange, I'm told it's a first...

Yeah...I noticed that when you first split it... I normally "follow" 135.8 on your feed(s)... Used to hear it on the CLIPR feed now I'm hearing it (best) on the SOUTHIE feed. Doesn't matter to me...as long as I can hear it on ONE of your feeds! Weird though..I know what you mean. Glad the one channel does "knock out" the other side-so its tolerable. Good luck!

Actually, when the feed was first split, it all worked just fine.  ccc1 and ccc2 were both where they were supposed to be.  Then the next day an "anamoly" occurred that required a new SD card for the Pi.  The new SD card was installed and, low and behold, the oddity you hear now on the ccc2 feed began.  Supposedly it's impossible for this to happen.  All I know is that it's being worked on.  The ccc1 and 2 feeds originate out at my parents place; I'll be there tomorrow so hopefully we'll be able to figure something out.

Hey Jim,

The CCC1 and CCC2 two feeds are no longer reversed.  A simple swap of the cables took care of that...

I added an amplifier in line and from what I can tell it improved reception of 134.0 - does the ATC side on 134.0 sound a little better now?  I'd like to know what you think (or anyone else for that matter) when you get a chance...

Hello Ian,

The problem of 134.0 being heard on both (DXR19/SOUTHIE49) and (CLIPR32/HTO31) has been fixed.  There was a miswire in the audio cable from one of the scanners that caused the problem.  But it should be fixed now.

Hey Ron...haven't had a chance to listen to 134.0 yet...but if the in-line amplifyer is helping...maybe it'll help you get 125.575?? (Still hoping!!...) Did you/can you try it?

BTW...my reception at my house of ZNY-125.32 (soon to be new feed) is good...BUT NO ground side for 127.175. Hmmm... should be from the same site, right? (Matawan)

Good morning Jim,

Sorry I tried 125.575 but no luck even with the amplifier.  But I have to say the ground side of 134.0 sounds much better now.  128.1 also transmits out of Shelton when ZBW is using it but I can't hear the ground side of that one either...

And yes, as far as I know 127.175 is also out of Matawan so I don't know what's up there...

If you mean 25.57 then it comes out of Shelton CT, the same location as 134.0 and 128.1
