I have heard her many times and she is great. She is a very take charge type of controller. I have heard her ream some pilots a new one because they weren't paying attention. Very hands on controller.

EWR feeds went down today at 10am EDT/1400Z and will be down for a few weeks until feed system can be relocated to a new (but temporary) home...still looking for a more permanent home not too far from EWR - volunteers welcome.

Contact me directly if interested in helping.

This also in includes New York Approach (LGA EMPYR Sector) and Liberty Area 124.85/120.85.

Hi Pete,
Upgrading all my San Francisco Bay Area NORCAL feeds within the next month with a new antenna, antenna mast mount, coax, and a splitter.
This includes the 120.35 (Foster) and 135.65 (Woodside) sectors you mentioned.
Stay tuned.

Hello,

I've been going to EAA Airventure since the early 1990s and have enjoyed listening to the ATC during the week before I actually make the trip up to KOSH.  After last year I went back to the LiveATC archives and saved about 7hrs worth of audio from the tower that week so I could listen to it again once Airventure 2013 got closer.

Would I be violating any rules or terms of service if I were to put those MP3s in my Dropbox and share a link to them on this forum or the Airventure forums?  I'd love to share them with anyone who is interested, but I don't want to step on any toes or violate any rules.

Thanks,

Jeff Carr

["On Jun 2nd 2013 accident investigators by the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation of Afghanistan reported in a press conference that quickly shifting cargo, consisting of three armored vehicles and two mine sweepers totalling at 80 tons of weight, caused the accident. The cargo slammed so hard at the back of the aircraft, that parts of the aircraft separated and wiring in the back was severed. As result of the shift and loss of aircraft parts the center of gravity moved so far back, that the attitude of the aircraft could no longer be controlled, the nose of the aircraft rose beyond the flying envelope of the aircraft and the aircraft stalled destroying the aircraft and killing all crew in the resulting impact. Parts of the aircraft, that separated as result of the initial load shift, were recovered from the runway. The straps used to tie down the cargo were recovered from the accident site, although charred they provided evidence of having fractured before final impact, it was unclear however, whether the fracture(s) had happened before or after takeoff."]

Signs point to load shift...

"On Jun 2nd 2013 accident investigators in Afghanistan confirmed that the tie downs of the heavy vehicles loaded on board of the Boeing 747-400 fractured and caused a load shift, which moved the center of gravity so far aft that the aircraft became uncontrollable."

Whats crazy is that someone can do this.

OK it's the feed sponsored by DynEd, containing frequencies 120.35 (Foster Sector) and 135.65 (Woodside sector). If this one is out of your control, I'll look into the possibility of my doing a feed, although I can't promise anything for sure at this point.

Thanks so much,
Pete

I would also suggest that 128.6 be added to either of the 2 main feeds(this covers FLL SOUTH ARR/DEP. 124.85 can be added to the ARR feed and add 126.05 to the A/D feed(FLL NORTH DEP).

I was just wondering what has changed at this site. This past month you can no longer hear the controllers. Prior to this it was clear maybe a little scratchy but you could at least hear them. Now you can only hear the aircraft.

I was talking to a controller and was receiving vectors to an ILS and I noticed that the radio was getting hard to get a word in due to traffic so one time I was giving a heading to turn 090 however instead of repeating 090 I stated east over the radio along with my abbreviated call sign to shorten radio traffic is this ok?
