Open ATC
« on: July 05, 2009, 03:48:16 PM »
Hi Everyone, new guy so please be gentle,

Just wondered if there was any local owners of SBS-1 that may consider sharing with openatc.com, there is generally good coverage of NI however the signal seems to go once the AC coasts out to join a NAT.

Great to be here and hope I can contribute in some way, have been working at BFS for 15 years now so any questions about the "big" airport I will be happy to try and answer.

 :Welcome: Hi Super and welcome to the forum. I believe Vortex has one but he hasn't been on the forum for a few months now.

Thanks for the welcome casper, it would be great to have a local sbs, would buy one myself except the wife thinks that sort of money should be spent on silly things like holidays  :o

Wish I had the price of her shoes  ;D

I agree. It's amazing how £50 on a haircut or £100 on a pair of shoes is fine for them, but us spend that sort of money on something that will last, well..... :)

Am also a newbie to this site so apologies if this question has an obvious answer

I was also thinking about getting an SBS-1 but is it true that it won't pick up aircraft like the Dash's that come into the City Airport??

Thanks!

Thanks Casper!

I'll maybe bite the bullet some of these days and get one anyway. However, I share the earlier 'wife' sentiments!
